Set Section Object States

Section objects have the following display states:

Section Plane. The section line and transparent section plane indicator are displayed. The cutting plane extends infinitely in all directions.
Section Boundary. A 2D box shows the XY extents of the cutting plane. The cutting plane along the Z axis extends infinitely.
Section Volume. A 3D box shows the extents of the cutting plane in all directions.

You can switch between object states by clicking the Menu grip that is displayed when you select the section object.

Set Section Object Properties

Section objects have properties like other AutoCAD objects. Properties are stored in the section line and can be accessed in the Properties palette.

For each section object, you can change the name, layer, and linetype. You can also change the color and transparency of the section plane indicator (the cutting plane).
