Adjusting or Breaking Section Lines

Note: This process is identical for Elevations. However, Elevation lines cannot be segmented.

To manipulate a selected Section line as a whole, you can use the Arrow tool, the Marquee tool, or Edit menu commands, as well as their counterpart commands from the pet palette.

To change the length of a Section line, select it, then click the pet palette’s stretch icon to stretch the line at either of its endpoints.

To break a Section line or line segment:

•

Select the line’s midpoint.

•

Choose the Break Section/Elevation Line icon from the pet palette.

•

Click to break the segment in half, then move the newly created half-segment to a new position. Click to place.

To move a segment of a Section line, select the Section Marker, then use the pet palette’s Move Section line segment icon to move it.

To eliminate a break in a staggered Section line, select the Section line, then pull the break line (perpendicular to the Section line) out of the section range.
