Creating Legible Sections With Depth Cues

Depth cues that make sections legible at arm's length.

  1. Create a section using View > Section.
  2. Adjust the section box depth—avoid including unnecessary distant geometry.
  3. In Graphic Display Options > Depth Cueing:
    • Enable Depth Cue.
    • Choose a gradient from Dark (foreground) to Light (background).
  4. Apply thick poche to cut elements:
    • Edit each material's Cut Pattern to Solid Fill – Black.
  5. Ensure ground line appears:
    • Use a floor with enough thickness
    • Or manually add a filled region if required.
