# Working with Cross-sections

The **View interface** in VoxelSpace allows users to perform real-time cross-section operations across spatial datasets. This tool is ideal for analyzing subsurface structures, internal geometries, or layered data distributions.

</div>**Accessing Cross-Section Tools**

1. While viewing a dataset, open the **Viewer Tools panel**.
2. Click on the **“Cross-section”** option to activate the cross-section controls.

**Selecting Cross-Section Types**

Once the tool is enabled, you can choose from various **cross-section types** to define how the cut will interact with the 3D scene. These options typically include:

- **Single plane** – Cuts through the model along one axis
- **Box clip** – Isolates a defined volume within a bounding box
- **Axis-aligned slices** – Slices perpendicular to X, Y, or Z for sectional analysis
- *(Insert specific options from UI if applicable)*
