Displaying the
Cross Section
of Objects
The Section feature enables you to view the interior of an object by “slicing”
it on any axis. You can then manipulate the object to inspect the interior
from different angles. This may be important for deciding on the type of
support necessary when producing the model (see “Choosing the Support
Strength” on page 5 ‐ 26). Displaying an object’s cross section only affects
how the tray is displayed on the screen; it does not change the object itself.
To display a cross section of the tray:
1. From the Tools menu, select
Section
.
or—
Click on the toolbar.
The Section dialog box opens.

2. Select the Enable Clicking check box.
3. Use the slider controls for the X ‐ , Y ‐ , and Z ‐ axes to cut the tray so that
you see the cross section you want.
You can set Smartcast/Hollow as a default property for all models placed on
the build tray. See “Default Object Properties” on page 17 .
