Problem

When trying to use  the Generate Section tool message is displaying:
"Error - No geometry in section."

Solution

Possible reasons:

-Elements are actually outside the section area.

Solution: move the section within the area to intersection the desired elements.

-The Solids working are is too coarse (large) or too detailed (small)

Solution: Increase / decrese the Solids working area.

How to change the Solids Working Area:

1. Go to Settings > Design File > Working Units > Advanced
2. Change Solids Working Area (for best resolution, change it to to 1 kilometer or 0.62137 miles).

Note:

Please note that it is not recommended to change the SWA value (if it is not currently of 1km) or the Resolution value within the current drawing file itself as this would lower the resolution and give further issues as changing the resolution would change the size of existing geometry in the model. You would need to make these changes within the Seed file you are using when creating new dgn files or you would need to:

- Create a new empty dgn file, change the resolution settings
- attach the file with the issues as a Reference
- right click on it and choose Merge into Master and click on View to accept
