Command description:

After defining a rectangle selecting points directly on the surface the Cross Section Mesh Viewer will be displayed, where you can inspect the corresponding section in orthographic view. If you modify the rectangle extension, position, or rotation the section view and the grid information will be updated automatically. You can zoom-in or out, pan the view, show/hide the grid and move the view forward or backward specifying an stepping distance, and modify the Z scale factor to view more detail. The offset distance from the section center and the elevation at the current cursor position will be shown in the bottom left corner of the viewer.
