Angled Section - View Rotation (Revit 2019)

[Anonymous]

Looking for some help with a rotated section...

Our stair resides in an angled enclosure, and to document the longitudinal section I've rotated the section cut so it's parallel to the enclosure walls.  However, the section 'view' also rotates with the cut, instead of viewing out parallel to the ground.

Is it possible to have an angled section cut with the 'view' looking out as marked in red (parallel to the ground)?  Instead of looking out perpendicular to the cut as shown in blue?

If not, are there recommended best practices for piecing together multiple views?  I tried jogging the section instead, but with the height and angle it wouldn't capture the entire stair (unless maybe there's a way to split section more than once?).

Thanks everyone!

Create a normal section per level or per a couple of level and place them on sheet.  They will look like one.

Hi @Anonymous 

Would using a split Segment Section help?

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to achieve...

Yep; that works!  Wasn't seeing the option to split a segment multiple times - thank you

Not only is the view diagonal, but it looks like the stairs are diagonal to the diagonal view cut plane as well.  That's going to make for a mighty confusing view.  I don't think it would be of much value in the CDs.  Better to use a series of conventional orientations instead.
