The cut profile is a very useful tool but is still very limited. Ideally, it would be great if the Cut Profile could be applied to the 3D object itself, but I can understand the complexities in programing that and controlling the 3rd dimension extents [maybe it could be something like the Sweep Tool where the 3D line controls the extent of the profile?].
If a 3D cut profile is a programmers nightmare, then maybe it could be something that could be applied to all connected views [in the same plane]. Lets say I have a building section, wall section, and detail section all taken from the same building section. If I use the Cut Profile tool in one of those views, it should be able to immediately apply to the others so I don't have to redo the Cut Profile. And yes, I know the Cut Profile can be copied and pasted; but it rarely ever lines up and works well, as if the cut profiles want to attach to a different element.
Another wish to that would be if the cut profile could also be applied to cross cut views. This technically gets into the 3D realm, but it would be nice if that were possible.
Thanks
The cut profile tool is intended to allow for further explanation, in an enlarged view (detail), of a condition that is not modeled, so we don't have to model it more accurately, a potential time saving option. If you need the "cut profile condition" to be available in any view you create that looks at the elements that have that condition...model it more accurately.
