- [Narrator] There are some moments
when you're modeling something
that just has complex geometry
that isn't easily explained using standard three views
or some of the other standard section views
that are available.
In this particular example,
we have this grip of a wrench that is a complex shape.
You can see it's got an arch
in here that moves in an interesting way like a spine
but then it also changes thicknesses as it goes along.
It's hard to see what exactly is going
on the inside from just using a typical side view.
So this is a great example where removed section
is going to clearly define what's going
on across that thickness.
And we can also do that at the angle
in which this arc changes which is also nice
I mean, we can have a straight up and down section view
but sometimes that's not exactly what we want.
We want to see the change normal
to this arc as it moves along.
So let's go up
to our drawing tab and select the removed section tool.
I'm going to go ahead and click on that.
Now, when you do click on the removed section view
unlike your normal section options,
you're asked to select a number of edges
so a first edge and an opposing edge.
So I'm going to go ahead
and go over here and select this edge is my first edge.
I'm going to zoom in a little bit as my opposed edge,
I'm going to select this arc over here.
Now you can see
with the pinkish, purplish preview that I have
on the screen what exactly I can do to make that cut.
And as I move along,
you'll see how it wants to maintain the relationship
between the two arcs any way that it can.
Now I wanted a view that was kind of straight up
in the middle right here,
so I'm going to float over to ray here,
I'm going to move my mouse up a little bit so
that the bias is kind of in between the two,
and just click okay,
and now as I drag upward,
I can see what that cut looks like along that specific line.
And this is an interesting view.
It's not exactly straight up and down
but it's blending these two arcs together.
So I can see if I pitched a line
from here to here exactly what that section view would be.
And we have a lot of options inside of this section view
just like we do for all of our normal section views,
you know, if we want to see hatching or not,
any other kind of annotation views taken into consideration,
we're not going to do that right now,
we're just going to click the green check mark for okay
and leave it as is.
And let's do another one down on this side as well
so we can see another example of that.
So I'm going to click on the removed section tool again,
this time I'm going to select this arc
and I'm going to zoom in a little bit
and now select this opposed edge as well.
And you can see again, you know,
it gives not a random direction
but using the automatic cutting line placement,
it kind of autogenerates what that should look like based
on the geometric references that I'm snapping to.
You can see how my yellow icons are changing
as I move my mouse up and down based
on the geometric automatic relations it's trying to snap to.
Now, if I go to manual,
that's a little bit different.
Well, I'm going to be able to select the start point
and end point of this line.
So if I want to cut through at a specific angle,
I can select here and then rotate back and forth
to get me that specific section.
And you know if I want to have it just straight up,
I can do that,
or if I want to come over it more of a normal angle
to what that arc is, I can do that as well,
and just click my second click
and drag up and get that complex removed section.
Now it might be handy
if there's a specific spot that you want to get
that section to create some reference geometry in there,
maybe a sketch line that has two end points
that you can snap to.
You can even go ahead
and predefine that location using your dimensions
but you get the general idea
that this is a complex section view
and an angle that's then removed
from the rest of the assembly.
It's just that slice right here.
Now, when I'm done with that view
I'm going to go ahead again
and click my green check box okay,
and I've created my removed section views.
