Does anyone know how to set the display of datum planes to be shaded? I don't want the default border-onlydisplay, I want to be able to visually estimate where a plane bisects a part.
What I've done in the past is create a surface thru that plane and set its color to say 50% transparent. Then hide or unhide that feature when I want to see intersection.
Another thing you could do is create a curve by intersection. Then you will see outline where ever the plane intersects the part.
If your worried about features, then you could genterate and XSEC thru that plane and just set it to visible. Kind of like curve method, but you don't have an additional feature in the model tree.
Creo isn't a new software, neither a rewrite of ProE, its just another version of Wildfire. it has all capabilities of ProE wildfire 5.0+new stuff and ofcourse curve by intersection. i guess the original poster wants to display shaded planes like solidworks, which isn't available in creo.
first create a surface using fill or extrude (you can also make its references parameter driven as per your requirement) . now a create a datum plane taking this surface as a reference. use this datum plane for making cross section. now u can change the references of surface to change the location of cross section and u can color and shade the surface as well. try it....
