# Drawing a Section View Using the Handset Designer Ribbon

The **Handset Designer** ribbon makes it easy to draw a Section View, with three mouse clicks.

To draw a Section View using the **Handset Designer** ribbon:

1. Click the Wall with Formwork to select it.  
**Note**: Your selection must include only a single Wall, Curved Wall or Tank. A Section cannot be drawn for multiple Walls.
2. Click the **Handset Designer** tab and click **Section View** in the **Formwork** group.

Handset Designer draws the Section. Once drawn, Handset Designer inserts a new page that contains the view, draws a view marker on the Wall and labels the marker with the name of the new page.

There are two ways to access this new page:

- Click the corresponding **Page** tab in the bottom of the window.
- Right-click the Section View marker and select **Page-#** from the menu that appears.

The page opens, displaying the Section View.

**Note**: You should not draw Formwork on Section pages, as Handset Designer automatically deletes them from time to time when changing Formwork.
