Displays information about the cross-section for a volume that was projected along a path. This tab is only available for volumes created with Place Volume Along Path Command .

Standard

Cross-Section

Specifies the type of cross-section for the volume. You can either select a standard cross-section defined in the reference data or select Sketch to draw your own cross-section.

When a standard cross-sectional type is selected in the Cross-Section list, you can modify the properties that are described later in this topic. When Sketch is selected in the Cross-Section list, you can view each point, its coordinates, and its turn type in the table at the bottom of the tab, but you cannot modify the data. See General Tab (Sketch Properties Dialog).

Display Cross-Section Image

Displays the image associated with the standard cross-sectional type in the reference data.

Cross-sectional images show the dimensions for the cross- sectional type, the default cardinal points for the cross-sectional type, and the angle for the cross-section. This graphic contains the dimensions and cardinal point for an example cross-section.

A - G

Defines the dimensions for standard cross-sections. If an image is defined for the cross-section in the reference data, you can see what each letter represents by clicking Display Cross-Section Image .

Cardinality

Defines the point at which you want the software to attach the cross-section to the path. If you click Display Cross-Section Image to see a picture of the cross-section, you can view where each cardinal point is located. The software automatically updates the display in the model when you select a different cardinal point.

Rotation Angle

Defines the angle by which the cross-section is rotated about the path.
