config section

planar

Define the planar section cut options.

base=<value value value>

Enter user-defined x, y, and z coordinates to check the current position of the section cut.

clipabove=<true/false>

Select true or false.

clipelements=<true/false>

Display the elements of the clipped part of the model.

crosssectiononly=<true/false>

Display a cross section of the section cut.

deformable=<true/false>

Make the deform mode deformable.

grid=<true/false>

Display the gridlines.

gridlinespacex=<value>

Enter a value to change the x position of the graphical manipulator on the grid line grid.

gridlinespacey=<value>

Enter a value to change the y position of the graphical manipulator on the grid line grid.

gridtext=<true/false>

Display the grid line text value in the modeling window.

gridtextprecision=<1-10>

Increment the current grid line text value from 0 to 10 decimal points.

normal=<value value value>

Specify a plane normal to the screen by picking a base node on the model.

orientation=<3nodes/normaltoscreen/xaxis/yaxis/zaxis>

Define the orientation. Options include:

• 3nodes
• normaltoscreen
• xaxis
• yaxis
• zaxis

sectioncolor=<RBG/label>

Change the section cut color by entering RGB values or selecting a color from the list.

showsectioncolor=<true/false>

Display the section cut color.

visibility=<true/false>

Display the section cut in the modeling window.

width=<section width>

Adjust the width of the cross section by entering a value.

spherical

Define the spherical section cut options.

center=<value value value>

Enter the x, y, and z coordinates of the base point of the section cut.

centernode=<node id>

Allows you to adjust the position of the base point of the section cut to the center node.

clipelements=<true/false>

Display the elements of the clipped part of the model.

clipinside=<true/false>

Displays the cross section of the section cut inside the sphere.

crosssectiononly=<true/false>

Display a cross section of the section cut.

deformable=<true/false>

Allow the section cut to be deformed, along with the components, during animation.

radius=<value>

Enter a value to specify the radius of the spherical section cut.

sectioncolor=<RBG/label>

Change the section cut color by entering RGB values or selecting a color from the list.

showsectioncolor=<true/false>

Display the section cut color.

sphere=<true/false>

Displays a sphere.

visibility=<true/false>

Display the section cut in the modeling window.
