Creating and Sectioning Elevation Views

Section viewports are useful for creating images that show multiple design layers from a certain point of view.

For example, to show an exterior elevation of a building model, draw a section line outside of the model on one of the design layers and make all of the necessary layers visible in the section viewport. To show an interior view of the same model, do the same thing, but draw the section line through the model at the appropriate location.

See Creating Interior Elevation Viewports for an alternative method for creating as many as four interior elevation viewports with a single command.

Alternatively, if you already have a (non-sectioned) sheet layer viewport that shows multiple design layers in an elevation view, you can draw the section line through the viewport at the appropriate location.

A section-elevation marker can be linked to the section viewport; see Section Lines and Section-Elevation Markers.
