Rotate SectionBox of 3D views

Hey,

Here is my problem: I create 3D views with a section box and would like to make them look... well nice.

I can adapt their cropbox using Jeremy's stuff about 3D views cropboxes as well as rotate them (which is a bit more tricky since in the API the CropBox is not an Element).  

But my problem is: I can't rotate the section box (which is not an element either, the 3DView.GetSectionBox() method returns a BoundingBox object with no Id).

In the UI: you have a picture attached with the Rotate Handle. But this handle seems to be not accessible in the API.

2 questions:

1) is there an "official" way to rotate my SectionBox? If not, would it be possible to create one, because there are PLENTY of uses for this

2) is there an "unofficial" way to do it (a similar way you access the CropBox...) ? For the dev team: would it be possible to have the type of the element so we can search for it in the DB...

Thanks !!

Benoit
