Exercise: Radial sections on a mesh

In the scene, show only the mesh DamRock and the polyline Center axis located in the Contour Group. We are going to create regular sections on the mesh with a different tool which allows computing planar sections around an axis.

Select the mesh and go to Radial sections. Use Center axis to define the axis ( to define its direction, to define its position). The axis is displayed in the 3D scene, with arrows showing the direction of the rotation. If you set the view to X (press X on the keyboard), you can see that the axis is vertical.

Choose Regular option. Enter the number of sections you want to create around the axis and preview the results. If you enter 30, each section is created with a rotation angle of 12 degrees from the previous one around the defined axis (360/30 = 12).
