I HAVE MADE LIVE SECTIONS, SLICES, AND HAVE SIMPLY SUBTRACTED FROM THE MODEL TO MAKE A SECTION.... BUT HOW CAN I MAKE A SECTION THROUGH A VIEWPORT AND HAVE IT NOT AFFECT OTHER VIEWPORTS??? I HAVE A DRAWING WITH A MODEL AND VIEW PORTS SET UP WITH SOME SORT OF VOLUME LIMITS... HOW IS THAT DONE???

This works similar to the ADT AECHORIZONTALSECTION or AECVERTICALSECTION commands. The advantage of ADT is that these commands work through XRefs.

I have a problem and need some help, please...
I want to generate sections that includes TEXT.

AECHORIZONTALSECTION or AECVERTICALSECTION includes lines, hatch, and many more things... but not include text or attributes that i need to.

Can someone help me?

Hello Maria,
There are two ways...
1) Yo can define a new 2d or 3d section style (in Architectural Desktop ).
2) Or you can create your own text on the section. You can use GROUP command to stick text objects with section.
Hope this helps

Hello Erhan,
Thank you.
I'm using 2008 Architectural Desktop, and using objects and 3d blocks that already includes attributes.
I guess it's easier (and less work) to define a new 2d section style.
It's possible for you to give me more details how to do that?

Hello Maria,
ADT has an interesting mechanism to manage views. I think you already noticed that things are changing according to your viewing angle. You see only plan details when using plan view, only 3d representation when using perspective mode. To use this functionality with blocks, multiview block concept developed ( please see the article : http://www.dailyautocad.com/blocks/multiview-bl... ). It is possible to hide/show attributes according to viewing angle in ADT. But It is not possible to spare my time for detailed description because of my bussines calendar. I'm planning to prepare a new article on this as soon as possible.

Hi,
My question is after creating the 2D section from the model, the section title is created and placed in the view file under the sction. It is a field that will link to the plot sheet that is placed in. How can I:
1. Edit rename title filed while maintaining the link between the view file and plot sheet file?
2. How create a new link if the section was moved to another plot sheet.
Thanks!
