All language subtitles for 125 Section Views

This is tutorial number 125 and it covers the section views within Qt of V5.

To start off, open up tutorial part number 125 which is located on the DVD.

Now what we're going to do is I'm going to go over how to create section views of your parts that are in your drawing.

So these section views can be found in the toolbar here or you can select it if you go to Insert,

Views, Sections and you can select them there.

So like you can see here you have Offset Aligned, Offset Section Cut and Aligned Section Cut.

So to start off let's do a Offset Section view.

And what we're going to do is we're just going to draw a line straight up and down right through the entire assembly.

So we'll just do it right here and when it's blue it's at a 90 degree.

Once you draw it, double click to the right and you're able to create your section.

So you can go to the left or you can go to the right.

So let's pull it to the right and it's going to create our section view.

Now if you zoom in you can see that the solid portions have a cross hatch going and you can see everything from the right side of it.

Now say that we only wanted a slice of it, that's when we would do the Offset Section Cut.

The Offset Section Cut.

So let's click it and let's do the exact same one, same line and double click to the right.

And for this one we'll just pull it out a little bit to the side here.

It doesn't matter that it's outside the sheet, we're just for example.

So right now you can see the difference between the section cut and the section view.

So with the section cut it's taking exactly that, a section cut.

So whatever it touches, whatever this line touches, that's what you're going to get in your section view.

In your section cut, with the section view, it's whatever this line touches to the right is what you're going to see in your section view.

So each of these, it shows a different perspective.

The section view gives you more of an overall view of what's going on halfway through your part or assembly.

With the section cut it gives you exactly what's going on halfway through your part.

So with the section cut it's one that I usually use more often because when I'm doing a section cut on a drawing or section view.

Most of the time it's a specific dimension inside that I'm looking for anyways.

I'm not really carrying that the handles out to the side here and what's going on behind it.

I just want to know what's going on at that line.

So most of the time what I use is the section cut.

And that concludes our tutorial on the section views with Inkitia V5.
