Abstract

An example computing system is configured to (i) receive a request to generate a cross-sectional view of a three-dimensional drawing file, where the cross-sectional view is based on a location of a cross-section line within the three-dimensional drawing file and includes an intersection of two meshes within the three-dimensional drawing file; (ii) generate the cross-sectional view of the three-dimensional drawing file; (iii) add, to the generated cross-sectional view, dimensioning information involving at least one of the two meshes; (iv) generate one or more controls for adjusting a location of the cross-section line within the three-dimensional drawing file; and (v) based on an input indicating a selection of the one or more controls, adjust the location of the cross-section line within the three-dimensional drawing file, update the cross-sectional view based on the adjusted location of the cross-section line, and update the dimensioning information to correspond to the updated cross-sectional view.
