cross sections in Wildfire

How do you create a cross section in part mode in WF? That command got squirreled away somewhere and I can't find it.
 
Cross sections are typically created only for section views in drawings.



Are you talking about creating a planar datum curve?



My guess for what you want to do, create a datum plane where you want the curve or sketch to be. If you want a curve, create a curve at the intersection of the plane and the model. If you want a section sketch, use that datum plane as your sketching plane. Then when choosing sketch references, select Use xsec. And/or use the Use Edge icon for creating geometry.



Hope this helps.

I found what I needed.



I was trying to use the sketched datum curve tool. This won't work.



Instead I found that datum curve has an option for using x-sec.
