How to create a section view of a part?

ihor_gernaga

I am transitioning from Solidworks where there is an option in the tool bar for sectioning. Currently, there is no such tool in my tool bar and it's not imbedded in the available tools. 

Thank you.

Hi Ihor,

Welcome to Onshape!  All the buttons in the toolbar are parametric modeling operations (not viewing modes like section view).  To turn on section view you can click 'Turn section view on' in the view menu:



Best of luck!

PS: There is a overview of section viewing on this help page: https://cad.onshape.com/help/#moving.htm

If you are in drawings, the button is located here:

I would like to have a section-view only for some parts, not entire assemble. It is possible?

I think it's possible to specify the path of the section line in the drawing. Would that do it?

Select the Include option in the top and then select the particular part you want to section. Here is an example.
