cutting plane view
A 2D view based on a user-defined plane to check any surface, point cloud, 3D shell (for example, a pipe or cylinder), or SketchUp model by slicing through it to create a "quick profile." You can create a cutting plane view using the Cutting Plane View command. After creating a cutting plane view, you can use it to create CAD line work (for example, linework tracing features on a building facade) that can be printed as a dynaview in a sheet set and/or exported to other applications via various CAD exporters.
