After 8 minutes, my 'edit in place' section finally loaded. But any operation within it is so laggy (including simply to 'return to viewport') I had to force quit it. 

 

@Amorphous - Julian,

Sorry about that. I should've added a warning that it can be very processor intensive on larger/detailed models.

I'm still waiting for VW to get out of that 'edit section in place' cycle
There is no way for me to get out of it. 
We need that ⌘-period shorthand
By the way- if anyone gets stuck in this cycle...
The only way to get out of it is ⌘-5 (top plan view) or ⌘-shift-W (wireframe)....
I learnt this the ward way through experience.
We really need that ⌘-period shorthand

@Matt Panzer
I'm now hopelessly signing off from work, unable to complete what I needed to do for tonight.
I can squarely blame this on Vectorworks being stuck in a cycle of intensive conking-out with 'Edit Section in Place'. 
In other words. Vectorworks has defeated me tonight. I have been forced to give up by the program that should be helping me. 
Had we had the ⌘-period shorthand, I would not be in this position.
Also, if VW was more like revit, with instantaneous sectioning (see post below), I would also not be in this position. 
I just wish some of these wishlist items can be granted to us users sooner than later, so on a night like tonight, Vectorworks can feel like friendly helping hand, instead of a nemesis, for my work.

Have you tried activating a sheet layer from within that view (rather than clicking the orange "exit" button)?

I agree.
