Hello,
I’m doing some project for my school and i want to make a section view with a nerve in it.
The problem is when you do the section, the program does not detect the nerve, previously done with the nerve option. I’ve been looking through options and the only solution i’ve found is to extrude the nerve as another body, and then in the “not section” option choose the second body extruded. But I think there’s got to be another way to do it correctly.
Could you plese help me, or at least tell me if this could be done?
Thank you
Can you show it with picture, I can check it
