FLIP SECTION BOX LIKE 2D SECTION

I think it would be nice if Section Boxes can be flipped like standard 2D sections.

If you pull the handle of the far side (the one you don't want to reflect across) to the handle of the opposite side, the section box will 'flatten'. You can then orbit (important that you rotate to the other side) and grab the handle to expand the section box, effectively reflecting it across and axis. We often duplicate views and use this method for 3D Prints or to ensure getting exact points of 'cut' in separate exported models. See attached images and let me know if you have any questions!

P.S. you can always orient the Revit section box to a view. So creating the section you want to see and orienting (See image) then flipping and re-orienting will give you the same effect.

Dear Richc,

 

Thanks for the detailed explanation
In fact, I know the procedure
But precisely I wanted this to be automatized and accessible by simple click this will spare precious time during the detailed exploration of the BIM model
