Camera Section Box

[Anonymous]

I have just tried a section box when in the camera 3D view but it doesn't give me the blue triangles to cut the building from the front of the view, just the back, top and bottom. I can't zoom out (enough) to get to those grips.  Have I done something wrong?  I've had no issues with section boxes before from the std 3D view.

Why did you do it that way? Just curious. What's the goal?

because the camera itself is that handle.

what I mean is that the camera is doing the same function, you can walk with the camera to locate it in the location you wanted the handle to be there.

Use a standard 3d view with section box, turn on crop region, right click on the navigation wheel and choose show perspective.

Ah, I was told to get a perspective view I had to use the camera.  Didn't realise you can do it from a setting in the 3D view.  Will take a look at that.  Thanks.

@ToanDN: I don't know this method that you described either. I can't do it using that workflow you posted though. What am I missing?
