segment section lines which are not perpendicular

segment section lines which are not perpendicular

I received a request from our Enterprise Priority customer recently, they want to create a section line for the stair below:

Currently, we can create segment sections lines, but they must be perpendicular or parallel to each other. Their workaround is to create two separate sections and combine them to make it look like one section.

 

 

If we can choose a random line and create the section line accordingly, that would be great. For example, create a section for a curved stair and parallel to the curve center as shown in the image below:

Thanks!

I am going to share an example of a way I could use this as well.

 

I am working on an arena renovation project. The arena is a coliseum with a radial array grid and flanking building extensions at each quadrant. See attached. It would be useful if I were able to transition the section view from being perpendicular to the quadrant grids (NE.10 in view) to being perpendicular to the main arena grids (12 in view).

I have seen that the best current solution is to just cut two separate sections, which I think is a little unfortunate. We already have the capability to utilize multi-segmented grids - which I am using here - so to be able to complement it with multi-segmented view cuts would be quite useful.

And making a circular cut would also be a plus for developing facades

I would like to see the ability to 'step' a section line please, with 90 degree bends in the section line. Something like the same functionality there in is in a level line in elevation - the ability to crank the line with 2 grips. Thank you

I work in Interior Design industry where sections like this are often needed.  This would be VERY useful.
