Hi all- is there a way to edit the plane of a section? I can create the section view through the coordinate system planes but can’t figure out how to offset it to sweep through my assembly and check for gaps and interferences.

Hello - here is a video on how you can create a section anywhere in your workspace: [Section view | Engine tutorial - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xlye02kpyE)

In short, create planes with construction planes, or faces. Double-tap on them and turn on the section view

You can’t change the section dynamically at the moment (e.g. moving the section view with handles to move it along a body), but this is something we have on our to-do list (along with other section view improvements)
