Displaying and
Annotating Sections
As you have learned,
creating a design is only part of the story—you
also have to display and annotate it in ways that effectively represent your
design for its intended purpose. This also applies to sections. As you'll see
in this chapter, there are styles that control the appearance of the sections
themselves as well as the section views that house them. There are labels
that attach themselves to the sections and labels that can float in the section
views. In fact, the methods you used to stylize and annotate sections and
section views are very similar to those used for profiles and profile views.
Of course, there are also differences. For instance, you have to address the
stylization and labeling of a corridor section, which you don't need to do with
profile views. Another difference is that section views typically are created in
bulk, so their arrangement and grouping into sheets must also be managed.

and corridor sections.
