Curve Curve From Objects > Contour |
The Contour command creates planar curves, points, or hatches by intersecting evenly spaced planes with the input objects.
Select objects for contour creation.
Pick the base point.
The contour planes will be generated starting from the base point towards both directions.
Pick a direction that is perpendicular to the contour planes.
Specify the distance between contours.
The contour planes will be perpendicular to the current CPlane.
Command-line options
Creates the contours within the specified range.
Creates contours on the current layer with object properties set to By Layer.
Creates contours that inherit object properties from the input objects.
The contours can be curves, points, or hatches.
Hatch creation is based on the input object's section style properties, and only for closed contours.
If the object's section style is By Clipping Plane, hatches will not be created.
The contours can be curves or points. Hatches will not be created.
Places the contour objects on the same plane in a group.
Select objects for contour creation.
Pick a point for the base contour plane.
Pick another point to define the direction perpendicular to the contour planes.
Specify the distance between contours and press Enter.
Contours are created at where the contour planes intersect the objects.

Curve Curve From Objects > Section |
The Section command creates planar curves, points, or hatches by intersecting a plane with the input objects.
Command-line options
Specifies whether the section plane will extend beyond the picked points.
Creates sections on the current layer with object properties set to By Layer.
Creates sections that inherit object properties from the input objects.
The sections can be curves, points, or hatches.
Hatch creation is based on the input object's section style properties, and only for closed sections.
If the object's section style is By Clipping Plane, hatches will not be created.
The sections can be curves or points. Hatches will not be created.
Places the objects created by the same section plane in a group.
Create curves from other objects
