                   throws NXException,

Deprecated. Deprecated in NX5.0.0. Use setActiveDynamicSection(nxopen.display.DynamicSection) instead.

To adjust and orient the Sectioning planes as a quick display trick. It is not to confuse this operation with the TRUE modeling boolean operation. All the attributes used are for the benefit of the UI dialog. The View Sectioning operation is really meanlingless when it is not in interactive mode without visual feedback (UI). But for journaling playback to work properly, we must remember the states of all the setting in the dialog. There can be a max of six section planes at one time 'sectioning' out a geometry. When all are enabled, they are 3 set of 2-parallel planes. These 3 sets are ALWAYS perpendicular to each other much like the XYZ coordinate. Therefore, one 1 rotation matrix is required to orient all these 6 planes. Either 1, 2 or 6 planes can be enabled at anytime. Initially, these 3 sets are parallel to the x-y plane, x-z plane, and the y-z plane of the WCS respectively. With this API, user can update the distance of all 6 planes even the number of active planes are 1 or 2. Therefore, the sizeof 'plane_dist' array does not have to be the same as field total_planes_active in ModelingView.OtherSectionAttrT . For further details on how dynamic sectioning works, please refer to the UG doc.
This method is deprecated. Use BasePart.dynamicSections() and nxopen.BasePart#setDynamicSections to create section builder and modify view sectioning definition.

License requirements: None.

Created in NX4.0.0

Parameters:

sectionMatrix - Section planes matrix relative to ABS coord

sectionOrigin - Center of rectangle representing the active plane

planeDist - distance from section_object_origin of the 6 planes

otherAttrs - additional sectioning attrs

Throws:

NXException

RemoteException

NXException

RemoteException

setActiveDynamicSection

void setActiveDynamicSection(DynamicSection dynamicSection)

                              RemoteException

Sets the specified dynamic section object is visible/invisible in this view.
When dynamic section object is visible, the section curves are shown in the view. Showing section objects in a view is a performance intensive operation. In involves cutting all visible bodies in the view with the section object definition.

dynamicSection - Dynamic section object

visible - Visibility flag
