Hello

 

I am in process of designing a multi layer patch array antenna (attached its design file).

I ma struggling to view the rectangles faces that are located on the internal layers, in order to define them as PEC, because theyr are not visible and thus can't be picked.

Is it possible to overcome this limitation?

Thanks.

    You will need to use a cutplane and disable the volume display for geometry:

    Open the cutplane dialog. First disable the cutplane by unchecking the Active box. Now click on the Origin box. 

    Press and hold CTRL+SHIFT and position the mouse as shown and left click. This places the cutplane origin at a level between the top face and the one below that.

    Now check the Active box. 

    Also on the Display options tab click on Geometry and uncheck the Volume check box.
