• Key Concepts: 
  Cross section is a feature of SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE) that allows users to view 3D models from any angle. It enables users to create and view cross sections of 3D models, which can be used to analyze the internal structure of the model. Cross sections can be used to identify potential problems or areas of improvement in the design.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the cross section feature, users must first select the 3D model they wish to view. Then, they can select the “Cross Section” option from the menu bar. This will open a new window where users can define the parameters of their cross section. They can choose the orientation, size, and position of the cross section. Once these parameters are set, users can click “Apply” to view the cross section of their 3D model.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a cross section, it is important to make sure that all parameters are set correctly. If any parameter is set incorrectly, it could result in an inaccurate or incomplete cross section. Additionally, it is important to remember that cross sections are only visible when viewing a 3D model from certain angles. Therefore, it is important to adjust the viewing angle before creating a cross section.
