Allow section view depth to be set to 0

Allow section view depth to be set to 0

In sections that are not parallel to the building’s geometry we get a lot of very short elevation lines which we had to turn invisible (even worse: individually! Also see https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/linework-override-for-multiple-lines-at-the-same-time/idi... ) for graphical style purposes. To allow a view depth of actual 0 would get rid of elevation lines and we would not have to rework them which is a big time saver for large projects.

Have you tried setting view depth to 1mm. Line weights usually hide those weird lines. Although I'm finding more and more architects want to show columns behind (etc) regardless of view depth.

Can we have a proper -in the meaning of exact- design tool please? Introducing hundreds of short lines into a drawing is not only unnecessary but also contradicts the point of having a computer based design tool.

workarounds are not solutions.  this is a great idea.

In Autodesk Inventor, there's a checkbox button called 'slice' that makes a zero depth section.

... So Autodesk already knows how to do this, they're just too lazy/distracted to do it.
