Hi, I have a 5 m 3D pipe along X axis which is sloped 1%. I want to create a slice at 4 m, but perpendicular to the pipe length. When i am applying the rotation via principal axis the slice is rotated based on the original axis which is located at X=0 at the pipe inlet, so the rotation is coming wrong (since a sloped pipe). I have tried creating a coordinae frame at 4 m but cannot rotate the slice with the new frame. What shall i do? I just want a slice perpendicular to the pipe length at some X location.

Thanks!

If it's a straight pipe look at the Translate option. Another option is to build the model "level" and alter gravity.
