Add Opening Section

The first step in creating an Unwedge model (after setting any necessary Project Settings) is to create the Opening Section boundary.

To define the Opening Section boundary:

  1. First make sure you have selected the Opening Section View (select the Opening Section View option from the toolbar).

  2. Use the View Limits option to set the initial drawing limits of the view.

  3. Select Add Opening Section from the Sidebar, the Opening menu or the right-click menu.

  4. Enter the vertices of the boundary as described in Entering Coordinates. Note:

  5. The Opening Section boundary must always be closed. To close the boundary, after all vertices are entered, right-click and select Close Boundary, or you can type c and Enter in the prompt line. This automatically and correctly closes the Opening Section boundary, and saves the user the trouble of having to re-enter the first vertex to complete the boundary.

Note: the Opening Section can also be imported directly into Unwedge from a DXF file. See the Import DXF File topic for details.
