model but only the current plane can be manipulated with the sectioning
gizmos.
Linking section planes together make them move as one, and enables you to
quickly slice your model in real time. The slices can be used in viewpoints,
viewpoint animations, and object animations.

2 Enable the required planes by click the Current Plane drop-down on
the Planes Settings panel, and click the bulb icons next to all required
planes.
When a bulb is lit, the corresponding section plane is enabled and cuts
