Folded Section?

Anonymous
Not applicable
Is it possible to create a folded section, where the section line bends on an angle? I am trying to cut a section thru 2 fireplaces that are back-to-back but at angles to each other. For ease of graphics I'd like to cut at 90 degrees to each firebox.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

No. But it's easy to create views from two sections, and join the views on a layout.

A single section can't have angled direction. With a concave angle you can have distant elements that became near each other. With a convex angle some portion of the drawing would be overlapping, or even duplicate.

Anyway, the solution can be to create 2 sections and join them on a single Layout.
You can also try with the Interior Elevation Tool
