Doing a section detail on a gable "rake"

Almost every design I do there's enough going on with the gable overhang (rake), as far as the cornice, frieze work and/or special framing, that I want to show a detail or two of a section through like I show in the attachment. To do this now I manually place the callouts and do all the details with CAD. As far as I know CA has no way of doing a section/cross section on an angle up the gable. Is that correct? If someone has a way (work around) please clue me in. How do you all handle these situations----just CAD? Has this ever been asked for or am I the only one? If you tell me CA can do this I'm going to fall off my chair! :mellow:

Not automatic, but you can speed up the process using the following:

  1. Select the desired object(s)
  2. Convert Selected to Symbol>Show Advanced Options
  3. Use the Rotation settings to rotate the symbol so that its flat
  4. Drop the symbol into the plan
  5. Cross Section the symbol
