The follow up as promised.

I figured it out with the help of this topic.

For each Section you need a Coordinate for the  
`CoordinateSystem.ByOriginVectors` node.

This ☝ will create a Vertical Section.

In the end i didn’t figure out the flipping (of a section).

I thought this 👇 would do the trick…,

but with `Vector.Reverse` my View got upside down and I don’t really know how  
`Plane.ByOriginNormal` works and if it would help.

I found this 👇 topic with a Python code for the mirroring.

I do wonder if and how you can flip Section without Python?  
Maybbe one of you can answer that? @jacob.small @Nick_Boyts @john_pierson.
