Hi Guys

I'm laying out sections in drafting but really need to see more than the section view shows.
Let me explain. I have a plate in the Y-Z axis with other plates running along the X axis which butt into the first plate - it doesn't pass through, it stops at the surface. If I take a section through the Y-Z axis i can see one plate or the other but really want to see both. Is there a way to use a normal section but show say 5-10mm either side of the section line? I know you can do it with unfolded section view but I was hoping to do it using the standard section view command and maybe use clipping planes?
Has anyone done this before?
Thanks in advance
