Greetings all; I have seen demo drawings that were of a round object, but with a pie slice missing, so one could look directly at an end view that is otherwise hidden inside a round ring. But I've never used it till now. How does one get that view of an object? Thank you. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

I sometimes add code to subtract some part of the model in order to peer inside, temporarily; I put a "*" in front of the code to disable it after I'm finished.  Or sometimes I put a "#" in front of some code that I want to be mostly-transparent.

Like this? module shape(){   // any shape difference(){  cylinder(100,d=50);  translate([0,0,5])  cylinder(85,d=47);  }  }  //shape();  module wedge(){  //create this wedge however you like    translate([0,0,-10])      linear_extrude(200,convexity=10)      polygon(points=[[0,0],[100,35],[100,-35]]);  } //  wedge();  $fn= 80;  difference(){      shape();      wedge();  } On 02/01/2022 15:25, gene heskett wrote: > Greetings all; > > I have seen demo drawings that were of a round object, but with a pie slice > missing, so one could look directly at an end view that is otherwise hidden > inside a round ring. > > But I've never used it till now. > > How does one get that view of an object? > > Thank you. > > Cheers, Gene Heskett.
