Enable/Disable Section turns cross sectioning on/off. A cross-section plane shows the model as if it has been cut straight through.

By default, the Enable Section command will show a single plane; the section is transparent and you can see into the model. (See also /wiki/spaces/SF1100/pages/3233338934.)

By default, a cross-sectioned model will be visible on one side of the plane and invisible on the other (see also Cut Material). The Flip Section command enables you to switch between these two views.

By default, the Enable Section command will show a single plane (shown below). Use the Two Plane and Three Plane commands for more cross-section options. The most recently selected command is displayed on the 3D Document Toolbar. (See also /wiki/spaces/SF1100/pages/3233338934.)

By default, the cross-section plane will be bounded by the YZ axis that passes through the (0,0,0) point of the global coordinate system. Use the Settings, Movement, Position, and Orientation, and options (tabs on the Define Section dialog box) to precisely define other viewpoints and settings. (See also /wiki/spaces/SF1100/pages/3233338934.)
 

The Align flyout menu lets you choose the plane to intersect a selected point on the model.

The Place By flyout menu offers the following commands for defining a plane:

• 3 Points - A plane defined by three points that you select on the model.
• 2 Points - A plane that is perpendicular to a line defined by two vertices that you select on the model. The initial plane will pass through the first vertex you select.
• 2 Screen Points - A plane that is parallel to the line defined by any two points that you select in the viewport. The two points do not have to be vertex points and do not have to be on the model. The initial plane will pass through the two points you select.
