Thanks for the tip but I tried something similar (waved the assembly and tried this... however after 30 minutes of waiting NX hadn't finished creating the wave. This is one large assembly!)
Well, knowing all the facts up front helps us help you. Might want to present all the facts in your initial post from now on. I took it that you had a model and wanted to section it - not a large assembly.
But yeah, a large assembly is going to take a while to perform a cut like that. Not sure if PMI would offer up anything simpler, as I don't use it enough to know. Maybe someone else will chime in and offer up a solution.

If you have a PMI License, you can creat view specific cuts. First you have to create a new model view. Then you can finde in the context menue of this view a section tool.
is this a PMI question ?
If not, why do you want to create this thing in modeling ?
I do not know if the PMI views support revolved views. - ( Revolved drawing views would be a bit strange in 3D since they flatten the sections .-They present the cut sections in flat state next to each other. - How would the corresponding 3D look ?)
Then again, use the Assembly cut feature.
Or, if you go the path of Wave linking, Note that you do not need to link other pieces than the ones you intend to cut... ( there's no point in wave linking the pieces that should remain uncut.)
