Section Analysis Other Direction?

I have been working on a model and it has some shapes that come close to holes. I have been using section analysis to visualize wall thickness, (it would be nice to measure inside a section analysis), When I split the model I always get one half. How do I switch to see the other half, or from the opposite direction if you will?

 

I have tried creating an analysis on both sides of a plane to try to get both halves. The only work around I have found is to save to a new file, break all the component links and split all the bodies.

section analysis is sensitive to view direction - the half that is section is between the plane and the viewer.  So, if you rotate the view around, you can section the "back side":

Thank you, I though I tried that but I was probably only slightly behind the plane when I tried.
