  • Is it possible to save a section as part of a slide? For example, I have to add resources to an large interior space that is stepped (theater) to show sequence. It would be beneficial to have a section be saved to a slide so as I go back and forth between milestones, I do not have to re-apply a section at a different elevation for each view.
