Section planes let you cut through a model to view internal details or specific cross-sections of a project. This helps you better understand complex spatial relationships and inspect areas that are otherwise hidden from view.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions

  • Additional Information:

    • Maximum Limit: You can add a maximum of six (6) planes per session. If you exceed this limit, a notification message informs you. In the future, section boxes will be available and should be used instead.
