I am trying to section plane in the middle of the lower part on the left-hand side,

 ![Screenshot 2023-03-13 at 4.26.32 pm](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/3/9/3940521e79d5e57802240df2eab0aae1340b359a.png)  
But it won’t cut vertically.

Any help is very much appreciated!

Well, 2 choices :

- either you select your section plan, and use the rotation tool to make it rotate.
- or you create a new section plan, but BEFORE clicking it on the model, you rotate it using the arrows on your keyboard.  
(second method is presented in the instructor panel)

also, I moved this from layout to sketchup pro. and please, can you fill your profile ? right now, it says you use SU 2022 and your os is 2022 😉
