3D fence diagrams allow you to view a cross-section of a 3D solution. To create/view a 3D fence do the following:

Displaying 3D fences requires:

  1. A 3D mesh with solution datasets.
  2. A coverage of any type that has one or more feature arcs without any vertices. This defines where the fences will be located. The arcs cannot have vertices since only planar surfaces can be represented.

3D fences can be turned on in the display options dialog. The coverage used for the fence definitions is specified in the display options dialog. The fences will use the current contour settings and are always represented with color-filled contours.

Remember to rotate out of plan view to see the fence.
