Would be very useful to be able to show a section view from the back side of a plane or face. Often times I have a face on an object and want to see the section view from the other side. I know I can create a construction plane and use the back side of that, but it seems like having an option on the section view button to view from the opposite side would be super helpful.

It is already as easy as rotating the camera.
