Reference Plane to Section - Dyanmo

I’m trying to make a dynamo script that grabs the reference planes in the project and creates a section view for all obtained reference planes. I'm struggling to get the bounding box to generate the section without breaking. Any ideas?

Exporting the workspace for clarity, will edit post shortly.

1. Your Vector Z-Axis offset should be a Plane.Normal offset instead so that it always generates a bounding box depth.

2. You have your min/max point inputs swapped. The node expects the min point to have the smaller x/y/z values.

I'm not sure if this is the approach you are talking about but I keep running into an error where I get a null point randomly at either geometry translate nodes. The nodes work fine up until I connect them to section view node.
