You can choose between Vertical section, Horizontal section from above and Horizontal section from below (for soffits).

Use this to specify whether the clipping line is drawn in construction line format and thus does not appear in printouts.
The section identifier is always placed.

You can specify whether the clipping line is drawn using a continuous or a dashed line and enter the length of the line segments.

Here you can specify whether the clipping path is to be displayed with direction symbols. You can also select the direction symbol and enter its size. (If you enter 0, the size of the direction symbol is determined automatically.)

The direction symbol is created within a min-max-box whose height is equivalent to the predefined size and whose width is 1.6 times this height. When you enter 0 for the size, the text height of the label is used for the height of the min-max-box.

The height of the actual symbol is three-quarters of the height of the min-max-box. The offset between the tip of the symbol and the inner edge of the min-max-box is the same as the height.

L = Length of line segments

You can enter text settings for the section identifier (font, font size etc.) and you can specify a name for the identifier. The label is placed at the clipping path.

Use to match the parameters of any text.

You can use this option to display the section depth and/or object.

Section objects are displayed on screen while you work but they will be excluded from printouts. The preview in the dialog box changes accordingly.
