That sounds like an offset section.

You can have multiple sections displayed on one view.

It has to be a LOCAL cross section rather than a HALF section.

With a half section you can select a datum plane and section to one side only - but there can only be one of those per view.

With the local section you have to sketch a spline (akin to a partial view) but it is then difficult to get a dead straight line, also the boundaries of multiple sections cannot overlap so you have to persevere to get it to look smart!
