All cross sections will be perpendicular to one global coordinate system axis. The axis the cross sections is perpendicular to will be determined by the normal vector to the face of the panel. If the Z component of the normal is less than .995 this panel all cross sections will be perpendicular to the global z axis. Otherwise, a set of cross sections perpendicular for X and set for cross sections perpendicular to Y will be generated for this panel. | All cross sections will be perpendicular to one global coordinate system axis.

- | The num argument will determine how many cross sections per panel will be generated. The extents of each panel will be calculated and cross sections will be placed along each panel based on the number of cross sections requested. If a cross section would be parallel to an element boundary the cross section will be moved slightly away from the boundary so that the cross section will be include a a distinct row of elements. | + | The num argument will determine how many cross sections per panel will be generated.
