Modifying section viewports and section lines
Section viewports can be modified, cropped, annotated, and updated, similarly to sheet layer viewports. See Modifying viewports and Updating viewports .
The appearance of a section viewport, including an interior elevation viewport, can be completely customized, from the items it displays to the attributes of those items. Copies of a section viewport on a sheet layer can look completely different. Changes to a section viewport’s appearance can be made by several methods; after changes are made, update the section viewport by clicking Update from the Object Info palette.
