      Hi
      In a scene I like to see the active section plane and in another scene not. How do I do this?? Checking the box in attachment does not make any changes I think...

        Leave the box checked. Go to Window>Preferences>General and make sure the box is ticked for "Warn of style changes when creating scenes."

        When you create a new scene this box should pop up. Select the first option.

        This will add a new style to the In Model Styles library.

          This checkbox only controls the active section plane (if there are more than one) and not their visibility.
          (edit: see this video for an application of this)
          The visibility is controlled by the style dialog:

          (One way to get two styles is described in Daves answer)

            Oh, thanky you so much for excellent answers! That helps me a lot! 😍
            I just asking myself why the visibility of the section plane is controlled by the style dialog...

              It's controlled by the Styles dialog because it's part of the style as is X-ray, Back Edges, Monochrome, etc.
