Cabinet Sections
Radio buttons allow you to Show only cabinet Sections or a combination i.e. Show cabinet Outline and Sections.
The colour of sections displayed are controlled on the Display > Colour page
Sections displayed are controlled using the View Options [F9] command button on the View tab.
This allows you to control which cabinet sections will appear, and affects both 3D and plan views. It is very useful for speeding up the generation times of your 3D views. For example, if you are displaying the doors of your cupboards, you cannot see anything inside. Therefore, you may want to turn off the display of all internal sections, such as shelves.
Plan View Options - Sections
The Sections for the Back and Bottom have been turned off so that you can compare with above image.
