Hi aapo, greetings to the Community!
You have fully captured the meaning of my previous replies, erroneously understood as my difficulties in creating sectioning.
Unfortunately, the choice of the red color for the rectangular compartments, visible in the images of the previous replicas, was not meant to be an error signal from the "Complex section" function, but rather to indicate that the two semi-sections, apparently obtained separately, they were actually obtained with a single cutting operation in TechDraw.
Given the particular trend and positioning of the section path and the "surprising" results shown by the "Complex section" function in the TechDraw view when the sectioning type changes: Offset-Aligned and NoParallel, they had left me "perplexed".
In order to eliminate my "perplexities", respecting angles, paths and planes, I "simulated" the sectioning, performed by the code of the "Complex section" function, directly on the model: the result obtained was exactly the same, therefore the code that manages the "Complex section" function, created by @wandererfan, works absolutely correctly, as shown in the attached image (note: the red color of the compartmentalization does not indicate an error).
Therefore conditioning/blocking the function in some cases (even out of the norm) I confirm (!), would be a mistake as it would limit creativity.
I don't know if such a flexible and advanced function as the one TechDraw has today is present in other commercial and non-commercial cad software(!), many thanks to @wandererfan for lightening my work for the creation of particular sections and for making it possible /simple at all.
