Creating a Dynamic Section View of an
Assembly
By Ing. Jorge Garza Ulloa, MC www.computec.org
The Setup
Imagine that you are working on the design of a personal computer. It is a basic
tower, with dual CD drives and the usual compliment of internal components.
The machine is designed, and now it is time to impress the stakeholders with
your design. As part of the presentation you would like to demonstrate a
Dynamic Section View so that you can move through the assembly and show the
internals.
It is very easy to create this Dynamic Section View in the Inventor assembly
environment. The view can be interactive, in that the user may drag the cutting plane through the
components, or it can be animated.
Let’s look at how this is accomplished.
1. Begin by creating a new assembly document. Insert your completed assembly into the new assembly
document. The component is inserted and grounded at the assembly origin.

2. The next step is to un-ground the component from the origin.
3. Create three Flush Constraints between the component origin and the assembly origin. Simply create
a Flush Constraint between like origin features. For example, constrain the YZ Plane of the component
to the YZ Plane of the assembly and so on.

4. Next, create a section view of the component. This is accomplished with the Half Section
tool. Select your cutting plane. In this case the YZ Plane was used.
5. The newly created section view can be changed by simply adjusting the constraint offset of the Flush
Constraint applied to the Origin Plane selected earlier.

6. The cutting plane can be dragged through the component by suppressing the Flush Constraint on the
cutting plane and dragging the component in the graphics area.
7. The section can be animated by driving the Flush Constraint applied to the cutting plane.

The Conclusion
Using this workflow, it is very easy to create a Dynamic Section View in parts
and assemblies. Internal features and components can be demonstrated with
clarity, efficiency, and simplicity.
Leveraging this technique gives you an invaluable tool when creating presentations. Adding dynamic
sections to your interactive demonstrations and animations can take your presentation to the next level,
making it easier to present and discuss your ideas with non-technical stakeholders, saving time and
impressing your viewers.
