slicing 3d models

[Italo1486]

Good morning to all,

I am new to the forum, I am a mechanical engineer and for my new work experience I would need a help that I offer you:

I have 3d of structures of the order of magnitude of 10 m^3 made in cad, I would need to divide it in different sections (type slicing) and possibly be able to slide it with the mouse wheel in order to find the right section for our purposes.

Is that something I can do with cad? otherwise that software could I use? Some guides to study?

I apologize for ignorance but it is completely new to me and online there is a marasma of stuff especially linked to 3d printers and I am having trouble orienting myself.

Thank you very much for helping me

sectionplane tried to use it?

I thank you for the feedback, I was looking for something more immediate that would allow me to make numerous slices of the model and allow me to browse them with agility in order to find the section for me critical.

 

[rpor66]

sectionplanetoblock
select a sectionobject entity (created with sectionplane) and create the section.

 

[Italo1486]

sectionplanetoblock
select a sectionobject entity (created with sectionplane) and create the section.

Thanks, useful, but if the sections are a hundred? Do I have to select, create, and place all sections at a time?

 

[rpor66]

manually yes, via lisp/vba no.

autocad does not have the function you ask

 

[rpor66]

It's true, partly.
with (command "_profile" "_section" ....) create the section by passing the parameters.

but he would need a changeable drag section in real time

 

[rpor66]

I also need panigale v4.
Just create a couple of commands that store the parameters of the sectionplane that will serve to pilot the profile section command, it doesn't seem impossible, just a little inventive and adaptation to create what is missing.

 

[Italo1486]

But I think there's a program that can do "to slice a 3d model" and run to analyze the different slices... I don't see something so absurd.. .

However, I go on with my research and in case I get to a solution I will not hesitate to publish it.

thanks for the help

That's what I was looking for, thank you!

I don't understand, you asked for a procedure to automate a hundred sections and now you're okay with the solidworks command? I repeat, I don't understand the meaning.
I don't know this software but it doesn't seem so dissimilar from the sectionplane command of autocad.

If I can reply, I will report part of the first message

Good morning to all,

lattu, the discussion I followed from the beginning, is not that I am the first one that happens, I was simply amazed to consider how much seen in solidworks that so resembles sectionplanes in autocad, that it will ever take to move a grip? and in any case does not solve the problem of extraction of a number of sections automatically. All this, thank you for the participation, I did not go down the spicciola conclusion.

View attachment 51126... always better save before. :

I did not download it because I use solidworks for the 3d not autocad, but I will try it,
However:
solid allows to move the section plane by inserting precise distances
and then
solid allows to rotate the section plane by inserting precise grades

 

[GP.]

But:

the section object, like the others, can be moved or rotated of the desired values.
I'm thinking about enjoying implementations at that lisp, but actually I wonder how it might not think about autodesk.
the question however is: if one owns autocad and not solid, what does it do? :
