How is the section tool activated in Revit?

The section tool is activated in Revit by clicking on the ‘Section’ button in the View tab. This action allows users to create a section view, which provides a visual representation of a specific part of the model as if it has been sliced through. This is particularly useful for detailing and understanding the spatial relationships and construction of elements within the model.

Using the Section tool, users can place section lines in their views, and upon placing these lines, Revit will generate the corresponding section views that depict the interior and structural components along the cut line.

This choice is consistent with the intended functionality of the interface, as the View tab is specifically designed for creating and managing various view types within Revit, making it the correct method to access the Section tool. Other options may imply similar functionalities, but only the button in the View tab is the designated method for activating the section function directly.
