in a plan view: is there a way to force walls to show section without changing the view range?

I have foundation walls that are only 16" tall which i can make show section (internal structure) however the foundation wall slopes

down 2' across the building. which means there is no elevation that i can cut all of the walls. so can i force the walls to graphically show

the section without modifying the wall heights which will screw up the model.

be careful not to go wild with plan regions. They can be overused and add a lot of confusions to your sheets. And NEVER hide them--they do not print, so just ignore the dashed green lines.
