Section analysis by component

[odolyte]

Hi,

Right now, if i want a section analysis it will cut through my entire model like this :

But i would like to be able to add a section analysis for a component only in order to achieve this :

here, only the shell is splitted but everything else is intact.

It is very usefull when you want to see how things are working inside a mechanism without having only half the model.

We also need to have section analysis by component in animation mode and render mode.

I ended up here because I was searching how to do this, only to see it's not possible... 5 years after the thread was posted.

Great, another workaround to add to my workarounds toolbox.

The same thing happened to me as to Jordy. Two months later, I still not even an ack from the PM team at Autodesk or a roadmap ETA.

Hi FFellows,

The Section Analysis, including the one for individual components/bodies, is perhaps one of the oldest topics on the forum, and it seems it will remain here for the foreseeable future.

In a separate post, I will present visuals of what Section Analysis might look like. Presumably, I will add some comments … which should be treated with … light acumen.

Would love to see this feature

Create a Section Analysis Group > Add components to group.

Sounds simple enough, but I presume it would take a lot of work to code this.

@autodesk you guys should get on this one.

It should be like in the extrude dialog box, within a Section dialog box you should be able to check which components or bodies are getting sectioned.

Don't leave us in the stone age! Let us make sexy images for presentations!

Not only this. But I would like to be able to use this section analysis on a drawing view rather than re-creating it again with drawing section tools.

+1 This would be helpful.  Would be nice to have a component selector in the section an analysis editor, or nested in the active component.

I've given up on this ever being built.  They're busy building AI tools nobody asked for.

[Woogie_Maker]

Never give up.
Maybe the team can use AI to build the feature for us. I'm sure it'll work perfectly on first release 🤣

Thanks for the upvote and reminder.

Similar to this the ability to change the opacity of inserted external components would be very helpful. It can be done in most other CAD I've used. For some reason body opacity seems to be linked to the file itself. It therefor needs a save and update to show in an assembly, frustrating to say the least. There should be visibility and opacity control per component in the assembly that is completely unlinked from the part file itself.

+1, need this on component level, would be very useful.
