Sections from Layers

This command creates cross sections from surface entities on one of the specified layers. The surface entities can be contours, triangular mesh, and other 3D drawing entities. This command is the same as Sections from Surface Entities with the addition of the layer filtering. Specify the layer names of the surface entities to include in the sections. For example, the layer names CTR and TMESH could be entered to use only the contour polylines and triangulation mesh on these layers. Entities on all other layers would be ignored. See Sections from Surface Entities for more details
