When section cut is drawn in 3D view only X and Y coordinates are provided. How exactly is the section cut plane defined for this case?
For the “Draw > Draw Section Cut” menu command, the forces are reported in the section cut coordinate system, which is defined by three axes (1,2,Z) as follows: • section cut 1 axis is located in a plane that is parallel with global XY plane; it is rotated by user-specified “Angle (X to 1)” counterclockwise from the global X axis • section cut 2 axis is located in a plane that is parallel with global XY plane; it is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise from section cut 1 axis • section cut Z axis is parallel with global Z axis Integrated forces are reported either on the left side or on the right side of the section cut using right hand rule. For example, if the section cut is drawn in a horizontal plane from left to right in an XZ view, then integrated forces on the left side represent the effect from the structure above the section cut, expressed in the section cut (1,2,Z) coordinate system, using right hand rule. Similarly, integrated forces on the right side represent the effect fro
