I would like to use the section viewport tool to cut plan sections of a complex object (a large tree play structure for a childrens museum that kids can climb in). I am trying to cut slices at 36' increments to describe what is happening internally. I can do this using a combo of 2d and 3d sections - however this is a) cumbersome and b) not dynamic.
The section viewport tool only seems to work perpendicularly to the ground plane - am I missing somethhing? I have tried changing the working plane - this gives me an error message when I try the section viewport.
