Enable and Use Section Planes
To view cross-sectional cuts of your model, you can enable up to six section
planes. When a plane is enabled it means that it affects (cuts through) the
scene. The current plane is the one that is rendered visibly in the Scene View.
Selecting a plane as current automatically enables that plane if it was not
already enabled.
When a section plane is first enabled, it is created with the default alignment
and position. Afterwards, enabling a section plane restores the saved alignment,
position, and rotation if it is available for the current viewpoint.
NOTE To save the settings for enabled section planes (alignment, position,
rotation), you need to save the current viewpoint with sectioning enabled and in
sectioning mode.
By default, a section plane is created within the view, and as close to the center
of the view as possible. Visually, a section plane is represented by a light blue
wireframe. You can hide the visual plane representation by toggling the
corresponding gizmo button.
