    • Click a Plane button to select the XY, XZ, or YZ plane.
    • Click Select, and then in the graphic window, select a planar face.
  3. Set position of the section plane:
    • In the graphic window, use the arrow manipulator to move the section plane, or use dot manipulators to rotate the section plane.
    • In the graphic window, select a manipulator, and then in the Section Plane dialog box, specify the distance or angle.
  4. To change orientation of the section view, click Flip.
  5. To define another section plane, click New Section Plane.

    Then specify the section plane properties.

  6. To suppress a section plane, clear the check mark in front of a section plane name.
