Use this procedure to change the length of any section boundary connected to the section line. You can change the length of the section as a whole, or you can change the length of the sides of the section boundary individually.
You can change the length of the section boundary before or after you create a connected section. If you change the length after creating the section, you need to update the section to show the changes.
You can also define the depth of a section (its length) by changing the length of the sides of a section boundary on the Properties palette.
