Command Overview

Modify the active section definition so that it is orthogonal to the current view, with the section passing through the current "Look at" point.

Command Steps:

1. Activate a 3D window. If multiple windows are shown (due to horizontal or vertical splitting) highlight one by left-clicking it.
2. Run plane-by-one-point command and click anywhere within the 3D window
3. Run align-section. The currently active section definition is modified to match the current view direction.
