Section View Orientation Behavior

The software automatically determines the "up" direction for section views. In most cases, the up direction is "up," or +Z. In cases where using +Z is impossible (for example, if the section view direction is Looking Plan or Looking Up.), the software orients the view to the North direction.

The following examples outline common section view orientations:
