Foundation Plan Section
- Zeynep Aladağ
The foundation plan section will be prepared automatically while creating the foundation plan, or after the foundation plan is created, the section line can be created in the wanted number. Automatic creation of the foundation plan section while receiving the foundation plan depends on the Add structural sections option in the Drawing Properties dialog.
With the foundation plan drawing, even if the foundation plan sections are prepared automatically, new section lines can be defined in the wanted number and direction. By using the section lines, the sections can be placed at any wanted location in the drawing. Foundation plan section lines are used in the foundation plan window.
