What Is an Interactive Section?

An interactive section is a building cross-section, typically used in architecture and real estate, that a viewer can click or hover on to reveal information about specific floors, units, or systems within the structure.

How it differs from a static section drawing

A traditional architectural section is a flat cutaway drawing showing how floors, walls, and systems stack vertically through a building.

An interactive section takes that same cutaway view and adds clickable hotspots, so a viewer can select a floor or unit and see details like square footage, availability, or finishes.

Where interactive sections are used

They are common on real estate sales sites for multi-unit residential or commercial buildings, where a prospective buyer wants to explore individual floors or units.

They are also used internally by design and leasing teams to track unit status across a building without needing a spreadsheet open alongside the drawing.
