Displaying and Annotating Sections

As you have learned, creating a design is only part of the story—you also have to display and annotate it in ways that effectively represent your design for its intended purpose. This also applies to sections. As you will see in this exercise, there are styles that control the appearance of the sections themselves as well as the section views that house them. There are labels that attach themselves to the sections and labels that can float within the section views. In fact, the methods that you used to stylize and annotate sections and section views are very similar to those used for profiles and profile views.

Of course, there are also differences. For instance, you have to address the stylization and labeling of a corridor section, which you don’t need to do with profile views. Another difference is that section views are typically created in bulk, therefore their arrangement and grouping into sheets must also be managed.
