Creating Section Drawings

 Sections in Vectorworks can be used to show the construction of the project. Sections can be live, meaning that they update easily when you change the model. For example, if you are designing a house, as you make changes to the plan, the sections will update when you click on the Update button. 

To create the section, you need the model of the project.
