Modifying a Broken View

  1. Click Broken View in the Views toolbar.

  2. Click a first point corresponding to the first extremity of the first profile.

    A green dotted profile appears which allows you to position the profile either vertically or horizontally.



  3. Perform either of the following operations:

    • Click a second point corresponding to the profile second extremity. In this example, click a point so that the profile appears horizontally.
    • Drag the cursor over the green horizontal profile that appears as you create a first point and, if needed, click to locate the second point on this first profile.



  4. If needed, translate the profile.

    Red zones appear. These red zones correspond to the zones out of which the view cannot be broken. Note that the orientation of the second profile is the same as the orientation of the first profile.



  5. Click a point to define the position of the second green profile that appears.

  6. Click the sheet.

    The broken view appears.
