Section
A section is a slice: rooms, floors, and the ground or sky beyond the wall. The rendered cut keeps the cut line, the levels, and the structural depths you drew. Furniture and finish can make the rooms readable. They do not move a floor or thicken a slab that the drawing set as thin.
The cut stays. Both sides of it become readable.
The slice, the levels, the thickness, the stair, the inside, the outside, and the furniture each need a picture. Drop a file into the matching slot and the block fills.
Rooms the slice misses stay out of frame.
Ground, floors, and the roof keep their spacing.
Wall, floor, and roof poche stay readable.
Rise and run stay circulation.
Finish sits in the room, not in the poche.
Ground and sky sit beyond the wall.
Pieces sit on the drawn level.
The cut line
If the section passes through the stair and the kitchen, those are the rooms in the rendering. A prettier room that the cut missed does not slide into the view. Name the rooms the cut already crosses so the inside of the line is labeled the way you mean.
Levels
The height from ground to first floor, and from that floor to the next, comes from the drawing. A sunken room stays sunken. The roof peak stays at the height you drew relative to those floors. Rendering shade does not stretch the building vertically.
Structure
The poche of the cut, the thickness of floor, wall, and roof, is structure, and it stays. Inside that poche, a room can show finish and light. Outside it, sky, ground, and the face of the wall show the exterior. Both belong in the same image because that is what a section is for.
The slice stays where you drew it. Rooms the cut misses stay out of frame.
Ground, floors, and the roof line keep their drawn spacing.
Wall, floor, and roof thickness stay readable as cut material.
The room and the weather sit in one image, divided by the wall you cut.
The spaces the section passes through are the spaces that get described.
Color and furniture help the room read. They do not redraw the structure.
The drawing should show the cut line, the floors, and enough of the outside to tell ground from sky.
List what the slice passes through. Levels and structural thickness are already decided by the drawing.
Interior finish and exterior light should meet at the same wall thickness. If a floor moved, this pass failed.
A section explains height. The plan explains rooms in map form. An addition explains a new mass against the old one.
The cut
Section rendering shows the cut you drew: levels, structure, and the relationship of inside to outside. The cut line and the structural depths stay. It is not an interior perspective, and it is not an elevation of the street face. If the result looks like a living room photograph, the section has been lost.
Name the rooms the cut passes through. A section that hides the stair it was drawn to explain has failed its only job. People, if shown, are for scale. They do not get a lifestyle. The ground line outside and the floor line inside have to meet in a way the drawing already allowed.
Use elevation rendering for the uncut face. Use this page when the point is the relationship through the building: the room under the slope, the step down to the garden, the thickness of the wall.
You should still see where the knife went. A fully enclosed perspective is the wrong instrument.
Floor to floor dimensions survive. A taller room is a different section.
Walls and floors have thickness. A single line is the drawing you started with, not the render.
Outside grade and inside floor are both in the frame. That pairing is why you cut.
The links below are the neighboring jobs. Each one keeps a promise this page does not make.
Elevation is the uncut face. Do not ask a section to do both.
Floor plan shows where the cut line sits. Draw that before you render the cut.
Drawing export drafts the sheet once the section is the one you trust.
One cut, with rooms on the inside of the line and weather on the outside.
No. Levels in the section stay. The rendering shows them with finish and light, inside and outside.
Yes. That is the point of the cut. Interior is on the room side of the wall. Exterior is beyond it.
The stair stays in the slice, at the rise and run you drew. Name it so the rendering treats it as circulation, not as a bookcase.
No. Structural depths stay. Finish is drawn within the room, not by inflating the poche.
Yes, if it helps the room read and it sits on the floor level you drew. It does not move that floor.
The cut line and the levels still govern. The view should remain readable as the section you uploaded, not as a different slice.
Only if the frame includes the slice, the floors, and the wall thickness. A crop that hides the ground will flatten the levels.
Cut line, levels, and structure are fixed by the drawing. The rendering’s job is to make both sides of that cut understandable.
