Is there an 'easy' way to see a cross sectional area and measure it? I have tried getting a cross-sectional area by off-setting a work plane into the model, sketching on that plane, and pressing F7. This shows the cross-sectional area, but when I click the inspect>area I can not select the cross-section. Any thoughts besides creating a sketch on that surface and extruding it to remove; taking the area measurement, and then undoing the extrusion?
Something like this?
That is what I desire, however that is not a tool that is available in an assembly from what I can see. Any way to force the tool to be used in an assembly?
It would have to have a column for each part in the assembly.
I can see that becoming quite a problem with a lot of parts.
Maybe you can just edit the part in the context of the assembly.
You would have to do this for each part.
