sectioning a 3d wireframe?

[klrskies]

I'd like to section (Divide the area between the upper surface and lower surface of a 3d wire frame into sections. Would someone please get me started?

[JD Mather]

Sure - attach the file here.

I'd like to learn how to section at varying z levels.

It looks like you went through a great deal of effort to do the drawing but everything seems to be constructed of lines. Am I correct?

It appears to be an isometric drawing.

[klrskies]

Correct, its just lines at this point.

To utilize the numerous sectioning tools and methods, it will have to be a 3D solid. If not, you'll have to do draw it manually. As far as I know, that is.

To expand on what the StyKmaN was saying, this is an example of two solids roughly based upon your geometry.

Once you have your solids constructed then you can use either the Section command or the SectionPlane command (depending on your needs) to generate the sections you are looking for.

The 3d models you display would be extracted from a solid. Can Someone show me the procedures for generating solids?

[StykFacE]

Have you ever done 3D design before in AutoCAD?

The solids I created above were done using the Loft command. Other commands for creating soilds are Extrude and PressPull.

Look at JDM's signature. Click on the link to his tutorials. They were done using AutoCAD 2007.
