Note
• Some ATHENA objects lose their functional features after slicing. For example, you cannot stretch semi-finished products after slicing.
• Circles are converted to closed polylines after slicing.
• Sheet metal sections, membranes and welded seams are not cut on a diagonal slice line, but instead always at right angles to the relevant limb.
