From FreeCAD Documentation
  • An important use case is that Section Cut creates real cuts, not hollow ones like the Clip Plane feature.
  • Section Cut is useful for assemblies to visualize for example the working principle of a device. You thereby might want to color certain cut faces using the Color per face tool. To use the tool, switch to the Part or PartDesign workbench, right-click on the cut object in the tree view and select in the context menu Set colors.
  • Without the option Cut intersecting objects only parts that don't intersect others will be cut. This can be used as collision test.
  • The Section Cut feature can be used for technical drawings to highlight certain areas or to be able to draw in dimensions. The image below shows an example where the TechDraw features ActiveView and View are used.
