multiple and irregular section boxes

[Wish List System]

Summary: i would like to be able to create irregular shaped section boxes, and for each linked revit model to be able to have its own section box.

Description: often we need to create section box 3d views for particular rooms, and when a room has an irregular shape you get bits of adjacent rooms. I'd like to be able to sketch the section box outline as you can for a viewport.

I'd also like to be able to assign a different section box to each linked file in a view, so that I can "peel" back the model to better show MEP in context of architecture and structure on presentation views, or have a view cropped to a room where the MEP extends slightly outside of the room to show where services enter/leave.

Building on this idea.
Custom drawing a section box shape, and extruding is one possibility.

Another way to accomplish, would be ability add more control points to the section box.

Another feature could be breaking the section box in 'rubik's cube' style arragement by inputting a rows and column variable.

Below are images provide that provide some possibilities that would be useful.
