Managing view cuts

The view cut manager allows you to create a view cut and to activate, reposition, edit, copy, rename, delete, or customize a previously created view cut. When you display view cuts for output database data in the Visualization module, the manager also enables you to activate and deactivate display of the resultant forces and moments for the displayed view cut. This section describes how to create and manage view cuts and, for results data in the Visualization module, the display of their associated resultant force and moment vectors.
