Cranked 2D-View
You can insert cranked views into the model if you require cuts and views through your models that are not situated on one plane. During detailing, they are treated like standard plane views; they show, different depths of the model simultaneously in one view and allow hiding of unwanted or less interesting areas.
After starting the
(Cranked
View) tool, you first have to click on the start of
smartline (intersection line) and then
add the other points of the intersection line. Please pay attention that the
line doesn't intersect nor that it is running backwards. In addition, the
segments have to be perpendicular to each other. Otherwise, you don't obtain a
satisfactory result.
Terminate the entry by pressing the right mouse key if you do not want to add any further points. Now, you are prompted to specify the direction and depth of projection by clicking on another point (in relation to the start). All areas of the component parts, which are intersected by the smartline, are later displayed as cut – all areas which are situated within the intersection depth, are displayed as standard projection.
Then, the Cranked Section Properties dialog opens which is also opened in case of modification of a cranked view via OpenBridge Modeler properties.
