how do you get a section cut from a terrain

[RAYMOND]

I tried this section as described in help but cannot seem to get the same results as shown in the help example.

 

if i use cut planes from the camera it is only perpendicular to the view point

What about the section modifier is not working?

[RAYMOND]

it does create a shape.. but don't see anything beyond that...

not sure what section modifier is.... new toy to me..

will look in modifier list.

Sometimes using the section modifier is not enough. You will also need to render the terrain as a 2-sided material or render the whole scene as 2-sided. You may also need to add the shell modifier and give it a large thicknees so it reads as a solid mass.
