The section box is one of the more annoying things to get right by dragging handles. These build it from what you've selected, then let you nudge it by exact numbers instead of by feel.

Build a section box from a selection or linked rooms.
Pick what you want to see (a selection, or rooms from a linked model) and Smart Section Box wraps a box around it, with options to fine-tune the crop. Beats dragging the cube handles and hoping you got it.

Re-run your last section box on a new selection.
Once you've got a crop you like, Section Box Repeat applies the same settings to whatever you've got selected now. No dialog, just the result. Handy when you're stepping through a bunch of similar things.
Grow the section box by exact amounts per side.
Opens a small dialog (preset buttons plus overall or per-side fields) and grows the current section box on the sides you choose, by the amount you type. Adjusting the crop becomes a number instead of a guess.
Shrink the section box by exact amounts per side.
Exactly the same as Expand, just pulling the box in instead of out. There’s a 1" / 25 mm floor on each axis, so you can’t accidentally crush the box to nothing.
Free on the Autodesk App Store. Nodal+ adds the heavier automation, with a 7-day trial.
