API Reference > imodeljs-backend > Elements > SectionDrawing SectionDrawing Class A document that represents a section drawing, that is, a graphical documentation derived from a planar section of a spatial view. A SectionDrawing element is modelled by a SectionDrawingModel or a GraphicalModel3d. A SectionDrawingLocation can associate the drawing with a spatial location, enabling HyperModeling.
