    Back clipping

    Hey folks,

    Is there a way to change the minimum length from start to stop for a cross section camera with back-clipping so I can get a small sliver of a section view?

    After you draw the camera, go back to plan view (while it is still open) and select it and open the dbx (not activate) and type in a smaller number...I've found 3 works well (sometimes smaller numbers don't work well). Then make sure to click Save.

    The length of the backclipping is controlled by the length of the line you draw when drawing the camera.
    It is all explained very well in the manual or help file.

    Thanks for clarifying Glenn...I assumed that information had been considered and an even smaller section was wanted, but glad you pointed it out...
