Sections
A section represents a building model as if the model were cut vertically to show interior
detail. You can create two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) section objects, or a
live section view of the model. You can control the size and shape of the section you generate
and assign materials to the section for an optimal visual representation of the sectioned
objects. Section objects remain linked to the building model that you used to create them,
unless you explode the section. Because of this link between the section and the building
model, any changes to the building model can be reflected in the section as well.

Section Line and Marks
The section line defines the extents of the section that you extract from the
building model. Sections lines can be straight or jogged. You can also specify
the length and the height of the area defined by the section line. Section marks,
which typically contain a letter or number and indicate the direction of the
section, appear at each end of the section line.
After you draw the section line, you can create a section object or a live section
view from the line.
