Different Section Type of same View

Hi guys. What I would like to accomplish is the following:

I have a section view, with its Section Head addressed to the Documentation floor plans -

Would it be possible to duplicate it as a Dependent "working" section view which has a different section head so that I can have direct understanding which section I'm looking at when I'm at the working plans?

Changing the section type in 1 view will change it in all views, not just the dependent ones.

 

It is possible to work around that by nesting generic annotations into the section head family and control their visibility using subcategories. However, in my opinion that would be unnecessary tedious work that might confuse users.

 

Alternatively, if you feel that having such stamp is a must, you could do the following:

  1. switch off the section Head in the subject child view
  2. add a view reference instead (and reference the related section)
  3. Hide the View Reference in the parent view
