Sections views cut through the model. You can draw them in plan, section, elevation, and detail views. Section views display as section representations in intersecting views.
You can create building, wall, and detail section views. Each type has a unique graphical display, and each is listed in a different location in the Project Browser. Building and wall section views display in the Sections (Building Section) branch and Sections (Wall section) branch of the Project Browser. Detail sections appear in the Detail Views branch.
You can cut a section view at the far clip plane. For more information, see Far Clip Plane.
