Add a Section Plane
Procore Model Manager - Beta Access & Feedback
The Model Manager (Beta) features and documentation are subject to change without notice.
To learn about the beta program, see the Beta Participant Guide.
Section planes allow you to 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.
