Sectioning improvements

Some proposals/requests related to sections:

  • Would be nice to have the possibility to make multiple arbitrary sections at the same time. We often have projects with a non-rectangular floor plan. Then the box section is not very nice to work with. I’d rather have the option to create (at least) 6 different arbitrary planes to create a ‘custom’ section box that is not rectangular.
    When a newly created section is parallel to an already existing section plane, it replaces the existing one.
  • For single section: the possibility to flip/mirror it around it’s own plane. Sometimes it is easier to reach the ‘outer’ plane of an object than the one on the inside. But I do want to make the section from inside the building.
  • Similar: option to align an existing section to some geometry
  • Option for snapping to geometry would be nice as well, when editing a section. To create a new one it works like that already of course.

Cylindrical shape section useful too, imagine a Tank/Vessel, need to show and document the structures outside and on the inside independently.

Maybe one more proposal related to sectioning: create a hotkey for ‘edit section’. I already use the ones to create section plane or section box. But now when I have to edit the section I still need to go into the menu and find the correct action. Sometimes resulting in clicking the wrong button and thus clearing the existing section instead of going into edit mode.
