ProE Animation Cross Section

AC-M

New member
Hi all,

I would like to create an animation which starts off with a solid view of my assembly and then changes to show a cross section through the assembly.

I know it's possible to change transparency of parts, but I would like an actual cross section halfway through, is this possible during an animation in Wildfire 5?

Thanks so much to anyone who can help!!

Attached is one solution.


The first component in the assembly is packaged, all succeding components reference the first component. Create a xsection referencing a Assembly Datum plane. Create a snapshot. Drag the first component to the desired location for the xsection and create another snapshot. Use these snapshots in animation during a keyframe sequence.
