Once cross sections are created, they can be deleted, hidden, or shown using the Select Cross Sections tool. Datasets are automatically interpolated from the 3D mesh to the cross sections for generation of contour and color fringe plots. | Once cross sections are created, they can be deleted, hidden, or shown using the Select Cross Sections tool.

While it is not practical to create an entire mesh with these tools, they are often useful for editing an existing mesh. The following steps are taken to construct individual elements: | ||

If the wrong node is selected, hitting the ''Delete'' or ''Backspace'' key backs the process up by one node. Hitting the ''ESCAPE'' key aborts the entire process. | If the wrong node is selected, hitting the ''Delete'' or ''Backspace'' key backs the process up by one node.
