Application

HyperView.

Context

*BeginGraphic()

*BeginSectionCut()

Comments

Non-planar section cuts will deform if the points from which they are defined move out of the plane due to deformation during an analysis display.

The Method argument sets the user interface to show the original method used to define this cutting plane.
