Would you please attach your model that you created this drawing from. I would love to do some testing on this issue.

you can reproduce it in any drawing. you just have to draw the section line at an angle instead of horizontal or vertical. I haven't wrapped my head around whether this is normal behavior for sections, or if it's a bug.

to get around it you can create a named view facing in the direction of the section instead, and use that as the "view" when creating the base view.

I have no issues in my drawing, that is why I asked for yours. Sorry, @laughingcreek I thought I address this to @Felipe.G. I cannot reproduce the error with any layout I do. When you placed View B-B, did you hover over the ends of the sloped line, then click along the dotted line? After this use the Center bar of the Section line to drag straight back.

Obviously a detail I'm missing. this is what happens when I do a section at an angle-

Thank you everyone for the help I just found out out the view was rotated, I exported the file to check and I can see it confirm it was rotated, I was able to check that the vertical line was on an angle, is just small enough that looks like is vertical, but after rotating the view all matched correctly.

Thank you again for the comments and help much appreciated
