Hello everybody,  I'm new to the forum and I would like to thank everybody in advance.
Well my problem is I can't section my 3d model with 2 planes instead of 1.  I have a cyclindrical drawing ang I'm trying to section a pie shaped section out of it.  Maybe even slice a pie section out of the model when I'm finished.  Everytime I section I get 1 plane thats cut all the way through the 3d-model.  the cyclinder is extruded on the z axis.  The question is do I section twice or is there another command I can use to cut the pie shape out of my cylinder.
Thanks for any help.  Its greatly appreciated

You can start with the section command then right click select draw section, draw section can let you draw corner (jog).but live sectioning is turn off, after you finish sectioning select the section line, right click, choose activate live sectioning, be sure to put the section on a difference layer.
