Section visibility issues

From the stickied thread above:  April 10th: "– We fixed a visualization issue impacting Section Analysis within the Design environment. "

 

If this is referring to section views cutting off the wrong side (the side that faces away from the user): It still exists if you drive the section view of an origin plane:

Same behaviour in the manufacturing workspace.

When you execute a Section Analysis on a model and you select an Origin Plane, it will section it so the Positive side of the Origin Plane is visible.  There is a positive side, and conversely negative side, of all of the Origin Planes.

Good technical response. However, I don't really see how it addresses the OP's concern. 

What he's asking for isn't exactly difficult to achieve.

If the software, by default, orients the positive axis away from the user, then, also, by default, it shouldn't be too hard to have the flip option enabled 😉

 

Compared with other CAD tools I use, Fusion already is very clicky in some areas. A bit of reduction in clicks would be very nice.

Hi Fellows,

"To hatch, or not to hatch: that is the question."
... still valid since the reign of Henry IV.

Well, it depends upon the context, aka the side of the screen (CAD battle) you are on.

I have done such an algorithm ... many, many, many ... years ago.
If I remember correctly, the answer depends upon the direction of the vector of projection (relation) of the hatched section to the screen plane. Thus, the underlying object's coordinates (direction of axes) are only one element in the equation. One can even say that flipping sides might be considered an independent variable, as practised on many, not only on CAD battlefields.


By the way, … do you have “Macbeth” in your curricula out there ….???

Well I made a section view a few days ago driving it off an origin plane and it was cutting off the "correct half" so I flipped it.

 

Now today Fusion flipped it back.
