Other languages:

The Cross-sections utility creates one or more cross-sections through the selected shape.

Select a shape.
Press the Cross-sections button.
Define the guiding plane.
Define the position (height of the cross-section).
Optionally, check Sections to create more than one cross-section:
- Checking On both sides will distribute the cross-sections on each side of the guiding plane location.
- Set the count.
Press OK.

The resulting object is not parametric, that is it is not linked to the original shape.
A single object is created, even with more than one cross-section.
