<I> - Show Measurement Info: Move the mouse pointer over a point, curve or section guide curve, and tap the <I> key to display its measurements in a list at the top left of the display window.

<[/]> - Step Section Position: With the mouse pointer over a section guide curve, use the <[> and <]> keys to step the cutting plane back and forth along the curve. Use <Shift-[> and <Shift-]> to step by larger increments.

</> - Set Section Position: Hold down the </> key and move the mouse pointer along a section guide curve to position the cutting plane interactively.

<|> - Find Section Min/Max: Use the <|> key on a section guide curve to position the cutting plane at the point of maximum circumference. Use <|> again to then search for the minimum circumference position.

<=/-> - Increase/Reduce Section Distance

<V> - Toggle Volume: Use <V> to toggle a section as a volume divider, or to toggle a point as a volume seed.

<T> - Toggle Tape Measure: Use <T> on a curve or section to toggle between over-surface and tape measure lengths.

<R> - Toggle Planar Section

<B> - Toggle Bounding Section: Use <B> on a section guide curve to toggle on and off the calculation of the bounding outline.

<J> - Join/Split Curves
