Good time of the day, gentlemen
I'd like to display the back side of my spiral staircase that I cut in the middle in the section, so that it looked complete:
Is it possible to do so, and if so, couldn't you please tell me how, could you?

Have a look at section line offsets. You may be able to get away with a local stagger around the stair.

Thank you! Alas, in this particular case it's not a very nice solution either, beacuase the staircase is situated in the tower with circular oblique walls. As a result the additional segment of the walls up above gets in the cut plane, and impart the section view an undesired look:

Tricky situation you have there. I was hoping the section didn't need to display the roof. The only alternative I can suggest is you create two views, one a section without the stair and another an elevation (or section) showing only the stair. These can then be combined on a Layout with the stair on top of the section. You may need to do some juggling with trace references for any notation you need to add.
Hope that helps.
