Sectional View

[carp61]

Hi to all. I have used various versions of TFP 3D. I have v17 now
and I must be missing something, but I can't seem to find how to
create a section view as I did in the other versions. I would appreciate
any help. Thanks Mike

Hi Mike,

Yes, you can create sectional views (also called cross sections) using TFP V17 / TFP V2015

Please, follow the explanation with image attached
1 - In Live View, select Elevation View Mode (upper-right corner, outlined in green)
2 - Select the desired view (outlined in blue)
3 - Select the 3D cutaway slider => set face that you are going to cut (in this case, front) => move the slider up to visualize the desired section (outlined and point in red)
You can create the elevations and cross sections with or without materials, colors, etc.

Thanks Patricia, I knew there had to be a way but apparently
did not read enough to catch it. I will study some more
although so far it is very similar to v14.
Thank you again, Mike

Hi Mike,

You're welcome! 
Some features are similar, however other features are quite different.
TFP, as any program, has a learning curve. The best way to learn the program, IMO, is practice + practice + practice => Read and follow the manual (this is important), check the videos => try to create elements not related with your project, so you will become familiar with the commands and how to develop the different components.
If you are interested, I wrote a training eBook that includes step by step tutorials and more than 1000 color images (showing tables, examples, rendering results and screenshots), covering the TurboFloorPlan Version 17 and Version 2015.
