Can you save a detail from a detail pane

My question is  when you are in a room specification screen, the detail that is on the right in the pane, can you save or copy that? It seems like you should since you can back clip it, turn color off and on and expand it

Not a troll...It's not a silly question to me!

Of course I can use a back clip elevation, that's not the point.  This is an automatic generated detail that is useful. Perfect for what I would use it for.  

Thanx all for trying to help. By the way, I started with version (4)

Sorry, Arnold! I deserved that down vote. So I'm all ears. What would you use that section for?

Version "4" Really I guess before

I had purchased Home Designer or something like that in the 90's from Barns and Nobles...I think it was like Broderbund . In the box was advertisement for 3D Home Architect...so I purchased it. I used it (and upgrades for years) with Acad. 

 

As far as that detail, It would be handy for the foundation sheet the show easily the different floor heights.

Over the past few weeks, it seems there are bots getting in here asking these types of silly questions. I think we are just being trolled.

Thank you for who ever gave me an upvote to offset my downvote! I know I can be silly at times, but I'm not mean.

As far as I know the room dialog is just showing you a cross section of a room that is similar to the one you selected.  You should be able to create your own view by just creating a back clipped cross section of the room in your plan. You could convert this view to a 2d cad detail or you could keep it live and add dimensions and notes to it.  You will have much more control over your own view than you would over the one from the room dialog.  If you really want a way to export it from the dialog, then I think you're going to have to send chief a feature request.
