SP3D Drawings and Reports Tutorial: Creating Section and Detail Views
Session 4: Creating Section and Detail Views

Objective:
By the end of this session, you will be able to:
• Add section and detail views to composed drawings
Prerequisite Sessions:
• SP3D Overview
• SP3D Common Sessions
• Drawings and Reports: An Overview
• Creating a Composed Drawing
Overview:
SP3D Drawings allows a user to create section and detail views based on a main drawing view.
Detail views are more than enlargements of the main drawing view. They often contain
additional graphical information that is not visible in the main drawing view, such as weld or
chalk information. You specify the detail view by drawing a circle or polygon around a portion
of the main drawing view. The shape created is called the detail envelope.
Section views are extracted from main drawing views or other section views. Section views are
similar to detail views, except that they can display information in an orientation that is different
from that of the originating view. The cutting plane is an annotation marker that indicates where
to slice a desired group of objects and from which direction to look at that slice. The cutting
plane is comprised of one or more line segments. When comprised of multiple line segments,
cutting planes are referred to as "jogged" cutting planes.
In this session, you will learn to create and update section and detail views. But first we will
create a composed drawing and place a view on it that allows us to create section and detail
views.
Create a composed drawing in Unit U01 of your workspace by performing the following tasks:
Create New Drawing
1. Open Drawing Console using Tools > Drawing Console
2. Right mouse click on Composed Drawings and select New Drawing.
3. Enter values as shown in Figure 1 and click OK to create a new drawing. This opens the
drawing editor.
