Question: Is it possible to activate more than one Section Plane in SU?

It would be a great help in Scenes.  
I know how to put it together in LayOut, it’s just a bit tricky.

I don’t remember in wich Group I added the small Section Planes. I can see them, but how to reach them?

Yes, but only **one active** section plane **per group or component or in the top** (ungrouped) **environment**.
