Reversing the Direction of a Section Cut
By default, the Section Pane tool cuts away the top of a model. But you can make it cut away the bottom of a model instead.Just follow these steps:
1. Click the Start Using SketchUp button.
2. Draw your model.
3. From the Large Tool Set select the Section Pane tool (open the Large Tool Set from the View menu if necessary).
4. Move the Section Pane tool over your model. The Section Pane tool draws a plane that aligns with any underlying surface.
5. Click when you’ve selected the right cutaway section with the Section Pane tool.
6. Right click the section pane. A context menu appears.
7. Select the Reverse item in the context menu. The part of the model that was cut away reappears, and the part that was visible disappears, as you can see in the example in Figure 10.19.

Now you’ve got complete control over section panes.
