A section box allows a 3D veiw to be cut so you can look inside a project.
It is a property of 3D views.
Are you drawing just for design or for both design and CD's? If your drawing
for both, them adding the interior elevations will be a big time saver as
the project develops.
If your just doing it for 3D work - use section boxes and learn how to use
the dynamic view (F8) to set your 3D view to the correct area to work.
If you only want to work in perspective - use SkecthUp or 3D Studio.
If you re placing lots of sweeps - then you should look at why you are
placing so many. You can probably save a lot of time by adding the sweeps to
the wall type rather than adding them one by one. I do base trim as a floor
slab edge. This allows me to do it all in plan very quickly.
For ceiling trim I use a roof fascia attached to a model line on the
ceiling surface. Again very fast and easy to do in 2D. For simple
rectilinear spaces, I sue a generic family of trim. I can place the
rectangle in a couple of mouse clicks and the trim is set.

I don't like making 50 elevations views just so I can get around the
building.
I hide or override exterior walls to transparent and then do the best I can
to get most interior sweeps and edit I need but, that works great but on big
projects it time comsuming! I like to make persective view of the exact
area I want to see and edit that stuff!
What do you mean by add section box to a 3D view?
