Note that, the depth point (defined by the End type, described above) has an association back to the model. Therefore, if the model is modified resulting in a change of the depth point, the spline and depth point for the broken-out section will update with the update of the drawing. However in some cases the update may result in an error. The broken-out spline will be displayed in red; If a problem occurs, redefine the depth point to fix the issue.
