How to create multiple Sheet Models containing Cross Sections along a path through a Design

Background

The following workflow describes a method of generating multiple Cross Sections through a Model along a path, these sections being placed in multiple Sheet Models for further annotation and publication.

Steps to Accomplish

1. Open the Design Model and place an element to define a path for the Cross Sections to follow. (See red curve above)
2. Using the Section Callout tool place the first Section (See link below) Tip: for the Section name add a numeric number for example 'Section_1' subsequent sections will follow numerical sequence
3. Select the Array tool (Drawing > Home > Manipulate > Array)
4. In the Construct Array tool settings dialog set the following
   • Method: Along
   • Mode: Both
   • Copies: The number of sections required
   • Distance: The distance between each section required
   • Optional: Enable Rotate Items (Sections will be perpendicular to path if enabled)
5. Select the placed Section Callout, followed by the path, direction.
7. Having defined all the Section Callouts required turn off any construction elements such as the path that you do not want to capture in Sheet Models.
8. With Element Selection enabled move the cursor over the second Section Callout and select the Create Drawing icon, this will invoke the Create Drawing workflow to create the Sheet Model and place the section within (See link below)
9. Repeat Step 8 for other Section Callouts.
