Solidworks Viewer Sectioning...

After installing The Free Solidworks Viewer on one of the sales guys computers, I noticed a nifty feature.  I showed him how to section a model, and here was the resultant look:

Now we all know in Solidworks you cant section a surface model.  This was a solid model that he opened.  Whats nice is you can see inside the model, something you cant do in Solidworks to my knowledge.  I think it would be nice in Solidworks when you section something, you have an option to select something like 'surface section' that would cut the solid, but give you a look at the insides similar to what you get in the viewer.

The Solidworks Viewer is free, and is available at the link above.

Thanks Justin for pointing that out. This is why the Solidworks community is so good, users helping users.

Hi, you can do this by unselecting "show section cap" in the section property manager.
