In 2021 and 2022 inventor when I make a section view to a distance when I create another section view from that it does not show the whole side is there an option to fix that

Edit View in your section B and un-check the following box:

That should remove the restrictions of section A inherited by view B.

Otherwise, set section depth to Full in your first SECTION (A).

A third alternative is to project the view on the left to first see it rotated 90 degrees, then section its side.

I tried that, if you have a support tower 20' square with different bracing on all 4 sides that need to show up on the idw as side 1 side 2 side 3 side 4 you would normally put a side view off the printable area, and use section view to show side North face and place the North face on the page and use section again to show West face view and then use the section view to show the South view exe. 2019 inventor worked that way great if I am missing something please show it more clear.

I've edited my reply with some options and corrected the first option that should be optimal, if you wish to try that. I think that's the preferred solution.

EDIT: a good explanation of cut inheritance is below.
