The section view in SOLIDWORKS allows you to graphically cut a 3D model. Word “graphic” By default in SOLIDWORKS in, that the cut is not geometric, therefore, you cannot insert a sketch on a section face.

W location method you can choose between options: Planarne and Strefowe. The latter is less known, even though it appeared already good 10 years ago, nevertheless, only one type was available from the beginning of the program – the first one.

Both methods allow you to cut one, two or three planes. The difference is this, which parts are rejected, and which ones are left visible.

Comparison of the cutting result is best illustrated in the image below. In the method Planar the clipping remains visible, and in the method Strefowa exactly the opposite – the clipping is deleted.
