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!

it's been 8 years now since people are demanding this, it takes Nothing to add the feature and yet FOR 8 YEARS it's still not added ...

This function is also essential for us, especially when we reinforce walls that are not straight but curved or have a bend.

 

The workaround of creating multiple sections is also not applicable, as I cannot place dimensions or labels that span multiple views/sections.

 

However, I also understand the programmers' position, as this is complex to implement and also requires the error-free use of existing functions. For example, on which working plane are texts or dimensions located, and how should they behave if the angle of the bend in the section is changed.

Es muy necesario que revit permita esto en versiones posteriores

Is this angular section creation request has been implemented in any Revit latest versions?
