One way to resolve this problem is to convert the mesh to a faceted solid
instead of a smooth solid. You might also be able to repair the problem by
splitting the adjacent faces, starting at the shared vertex (MESHSPLIT).
Create Sections and Drawings from 3D Models
Create cross sections, cutting planes, flattened views, and 2D drawings of 3D
objects.
Work with Sections
Create cross sections of 3D models.
Overview of Section Objects
Create a section plane that can be modified and moved to achieve the cross
section view that you need.
With the SECTIONPLANE command, you can create one or more section
objects and place them throughout a 3D model (3D solids, surfaces, or mesh).
By activating live sectioning, you can then view transient cuts in the 3D model
as you move the section object through it. The 3D objects themselves do not
change.
Set the Cross-Section with the Section Plane Indicator
Section objects have a transparent section plane indicator that acts as a cutting
plane. This plane can be moved through a 3D model that is composed of 3D
solids, surfaces, or regions to obtain different section views.
