Create Curve Slice Help

[kunfuzed]

I can't seem to figure this one out. Somtimes it works, sometimes it says "intersection not found". I think I'm trying to treat it like "project" though. How should I have my planes and geometry set up? Seems like if I have a part looking at it from the top view and I want to split it along the "y" axis, I should be in Top with wcs and the cplane set accordingly and draw a line over where I want it split. Although it's almost like its always perpandicular to my cplane. What am I missing?

 

Thanks

I think I can make it work, but I don't understand it.

Be sure to select your desired "slice" plane before selecting geometry, this always works for me.

Looking from the top if you want a slice along the -Y- axis

you c-plane should be on right side.

 

Red slice is with top c-plane

Green is with right

Yellow is with front.

All at Z0

 

 

 

 

PEACE

Thats the key to making it work!

+1 for selecting the plane first. You should also get in the habit of using the "apply" button. If you select the plane, then the geometry, and hit the "ok" check button, it can be spotty. If you select the plane, set the depth (if necessary), select the geometry, then press "apply", it always works. This is assuming that your slice plane (at what ever depth you choose) actually intersects the solid.

I have found the same issue of spottiness!

Thanks everybody, I got it now!

 

I didn't even realize I don't need a line to project.

 

Thanks again, this forum is seriously bad azz!
