The section visualizer is a Python script developed for Rhino using the RhinoScriptSyntax library. It automatically generates a sequence of axonometric and flat section views highlighting the sections curves extracted from a Rhino 3D model.
The development of this script arises from the need of quickly and efficiently generating an image or animation that easily explains and exposes the complex internal geometries of a 3D part to clients unfamiliar with 3D modeling tools.
