Cross-sectional view on the symmetrical axis

Hello

How do I drag the cutting plane exactly on my axis of symmetry?  I noticed that the section is referenced in relation to the blue line see photo, how to move this reference on the axis of symmerty?

 

good weekend

You just have to move the cutting plane

For a plan see this tutorial

for one assembly / part

by moving the cutting plane I fall more or less on my axis of symmetry, not exactly

You can't put down your axis and constrain your cutting plane?

If necessary, if your axis is on the edges, just look at the basic planes and use this to constrain your cutting plane

if your origin is not at the axis of your part

See this tutorial that allows you to modify the origins

otherwise a hack

You also have the option to cut your piece and save it with the same no + extension (in section)

and take this new piece which is the cut of the parent piece

If your axis is on a base plane, select that plane before the trim function.

Otherwise, you can create a plane that goes through your axis and do the above task again by selecting this new plane

Thank you for your answers

I'm watching next Monday, because I'm on vacation
