3D cut-in profile to carry the same line symbology present in the XS named boundaries

User expecting to be 3D cut should mimic the display style of the 3D view. Currently, the limitation is that a cross-section in ORD can only be cut between two lines, and not along a complex element. It should go inside the display style and let y...
