SOLIDWORKS Tips: Hidden feature of section view

Graphics only section view now only sections the model faster but also allows the user to apply materials.

Thanks. Nice tip.

Good to know. Graphics-only can also help when SW is unable to section a complex assembly and throws an error.

[@solidworksfeaturefriday2113]

yup if your section creates a zero thickness condition then the normal section view will not work, but graphics only will!

Yeah better to figure out why it happens though; usually bad geometry in an imported model; check tool is your friend.

why cannot make a sketch from the section view?

Also my question.
