of a model section view.

having to model elements that you ordinarily would not model to show
in plan views. The same drafting tools used in drafting views can be used
to provide additional information to the view in order to convey design
conditions without having to add model components.
Section detail views can reference other views in the same way as plan
callout detail views. This allows you to create the detail drawing once and
reference it as many times as needed in your project.
In some cases, you may be able to use a building section to convey more
of the design intent without having to embellish the section with detail
annotations. You can create section tags to differentiate between model
section and detail section marks in your views.
Figure 22.30
shows how
section tags can be used for different types of sections. This helps you know
what a section mark is used for when you come across it in a plan view.
You can find the settings for section tags by clicking the Additional Settings
button on the Manage tab.
