Problem

Generate section is returning incorrect results when using a 2D output
file.

Steps to reproduce:
1. In a 3D file, start the Generate Section tool (Utilities > Generate
Section).
2. Start a New output file (File > New Output file...)
3. Create a new 2D file for the output file.
4. In a view that is not a top view, generate a section.
5. Open the output file.

Notice the section appears to be skewed or distorted.

Solution

Enable "Flatten Section" in the Generate Section tools.

Reason:
When output to a 2D file, the top view is used as the or
ientation. If the section is from a view that is not the top view, it will appear skewed or distorted, or what the section would
look like from the top view.

Using "Flatten Section" will rotate the section plane to a top view orientation in the output file.
