Hi everyone,

I have an assembly that I need to create some renderings of.  I created a cross section in view manager, no problem.  I go into rendererer, set all my options, render the assembly, and it doesn't recognize the section.  I get a pretty picture of the unsectioned assembly.  So as a workaround I've been doing an assembly cut and then rendering it.  Is there anyway to get a nice image using a section created in view manager?  I must be missing something.

Thanks,

Al

you can enable high level of details in Pro/E and smooth lines and curves... and enable Real time Rendering capability ... then show up your sections and make the Screen Shot ..... then open windows paint utillity and paste that snap shot ... save it as TIFF file (because of higher quality as JPEG)...

I have come across this situation many times before. The only problem with an assembly cut is that you struggle applying textures and colours to the cut faces. I've always made a cut on an active part at assembly level and then made other cuts at part level that use these surfaces as references. You can then apply textures and colours at the individual part level (you may want the cut surfaces a different colour with no reflection for examples). I think whichever way you do something like this is it going to be tedious. It is when I have to do it.
