Can a section box have an irregular shape?

I'm trying to create an axonometric view of a room that has a fairly irregular shape, so the standard rectangular volume of the section box used to define a 3D view isn't working well.  Is it possible for a section box to have an irregular shape (an "L" shape, for example) instead of a rectangular volume, similar to the way that a plan callout boundary can be sketched to have any desired shape?  If so, how is this done?

3D Section Box?  

 

No.  

 

...but you could align "boxed" views on a Sheet.

Drat.  Thanks, though.

You can place multiple 3d view(s) on sheet, tailor their section boxes and view crop regions to get what you want.

I Don't know if you still need this but I found this video on Youtube, he made a really smart workaround which can be used to make irregular shaped "section boxes"

Thanks for sharing this.  This wasn't the kind of irregular shape I needed for the problem that inspired my question, but it could come in handy in the future.
