Title: Create a section along a circle?
Post by: userdflr on January 20, 2015, 01:37:11 PM

Is there a way to create a cross section around a radial shape? I mean, a cross section which is along a plane, but along a radial curve...

Thanks in advance!!

Yes, when you go into cross section the method would be radial.

There is a visual lay out available in Innovmetric's Technical Support Zone which allows the cutting of cylindrical cross sections.

It will use a cylinder to cut a section at the intersection of scan data with the cylinder wall, then "unroll" the section to make it planar.

Perhaps this is what you're looking for?

Admin,

That's exactly what I was looking for. I contacted the technical support and they provided that solution.

Thanks!!
