# 3.3.4: Disassemble Cross Section 🔷

In some cases (e.g. after optimizing cross sections) it may be necessary to retrieve the properties of a cross section. Use the **“Disassemble Cross Section”**-component for that (see fig. 3.3.4.1). Unfold the component sub-sections by clicking on the dark section headers.
