Because of the different orientations of the different slice planes, the X and Y axes of the 2-dimensional slice that is extracted from a solid model are not always going to coincide with the X and Y axes of the solid model. For the north/south and east/west vertical slices, the following drawings illustrate how the program will define the X and Y axes of the 2-D slice it extracts:
South-North Vertical Section: X in grid = Y in model. Y in grid = Z in model.
West-East Vertical Section: X in grid = X in model. Y in grid = Z in model.
In the case of horizontal slices, however, the X and Y axes remain the same.
