      I'm trying to create a section through the front of my model of a house and not see what's going on at the rear property. I heard there's a way to a group a foreground and background section cut so both can be active at the same time. I can't get it to work. Anyone out there with experience on this subject? I could use fog to achieve the effect, but am curious about the section grouping technique. Thanks.

        Group the objects you want to section. Enter the group and add a section plane, make it active. Exit the group and another section plane and make it active. In this picture, the rear section is inside the group of entities. The front one is outside the group.Screen Shot 2014-01-31 at 11.09.32 PM.png

          Remember that you can always have only one active section cut per context (in pbacots example one in the group and one outside)...
