Q: Hi, Revisiting an old topic, Display. I’m having trouble when trying to render a 3D slice into the object window.

When I choose the desired plane, then press SliceView(S)/CreateSlice(A)/ToggleSliceVisible(T), the slice fails to appear in the object window. I am able to render the slice into the fourth panel of the 3D window without problem, but I would like to have it in the object window from which I can superimpose onto other objects.

If I recall correctly, this can be done. Am I missing something?

A: Not sure if anyone posted a reply to this so here is how I do this (when I have to) Display does not have the best documentation!

First place the cross hairs in the 3D view on a place that you want in your oblique view. then..

1. Press ‘s’ for Slice View

2. Press ‘r’ to make sure things are visible

3. Press ‘e’ (Pick slice Angle).

Then click somewhere else in the image that you want in your oblique view. after a few hacks at this (#3 only) you will get the hang of it.
