AutoCAD Civil 3D enables you can to easily create, manage, and edit section views.
Section views are created from existing sample lines and sections. For more information, see Sample Lines and Sections.
A section view consists of a grid on which one or more sections are displayed as graphed lines. Multiple section views can be plotted on a sheet that is a specified size and configuration.
A section view is very similar to a profile view. It consists of a grid or graph with specific characteristics that are controlled by section view styles. Bands can also be displayed above or below the section view.
A section view can display one or more of the available sections at the sample line. To plot multiple sections, use a paperspace viewport size to set up the sheet.
Configure bands and section annotations in a section view to make the section view clearer or more informative for the user.
