In the viewports, the lines through which the section plane is cutting will appear thicker than when printed. Don't be alarmed if the lines appear too bold here. Do not use a screen shot of the Rhino layout to create your PDF as this will make your lines appear too thick, and the scale to be distorted. 1920
