Step 6: look at it

Everything you see in CreaBIM is drawn from the model. You never draw a section by hand: you say where to cut, and CreaBIM draws it.

Turn around in 3D

In the 3D view, drag with the middle mouse button to orbit (or Alt + left drag), drag with the right button to pan, and roll the wheel to zoom; a left drag selects with a box. Home frames the whole model. See Moving around the views.

Cut a section

1. Open the floor plan.
2. Pick the Section tool.
3. Click two points across the house. The section looks to the left of the direction you draw.
4. Open the new section from the project browser (under Sections), or from an area's header.

Cut walls and slabs are drawn heavy and hatched; what lies beyond is drawn in thinner lines. Elevations work the same way with the Elevation tool: draw them outside the building.

Change a wall, and the plan, the section and the 3D view all change with it.
