Horizontal Sections

Need to draw a horizontal section?  No, I'm not talking about a floor plan.  How about on your door details, or an interior elevation needing to cut a section through a jamb condition.



When drawing a section, it won't let you draw it horizontal, only vertical.  But after you draw the section, you can select it and use the rotate tool to rotate it 90 degrees.


This works best when the section cut references another view, (as opposed to cutting the section itself) but I suppose it can work either way.
