System & Structural
A cutaway architecture style for exposing internal layers, components, and structural relationships
Open the relevant workspace, add your material, then select this visual direction before creating.
Reading the style
A cross-section reveals the layers and pathways inside a structure so the viewer can see relationships hidden by the exterior.
Choose it for
Engineering concepts, building systems, product internals, and spatial mechanism explainers.
Choose another style when
Approved drawings, construction instructions, or unsupported measurements.
A useful information structure
Show the exterior context → cut through the layers → trace one flow or load path → reconnect it to the design purpose.
Make the choice
Choose for the information the viewer must read—not only for a visual label. Compare whether your material needs steps, relationships, data, people, or story rhythm.
