Hello,

First I would suggest loading the radar data you want a cross section from.

Then load the Baselines (Tools --> Baselines)
Move the baseline to the cross section area you are wanting to view 

Note: You have to be localized to a CWA close to the radar you have loaded 
(http://unidata.github.io/awips2/cave/cave-localization/)

Load the Volume Browser (Models --> Volume Browser)

Along the top, click "Plan view" and switch it to "Cross section"

Under Sources-->Volume select "Radar" 
Under Fields-->Other select "Reflectivity" (or which product you want to look 
at)

Under Planes --> Specified select the Baseline line that you want to view from 
(it should show green boxes by the lines that have data available).

Then you can click "Load" and a new tab should open in CAVE (it may take a few 
seconds for it to load). Initially it loads a contour, you can right click and 
select "Load as image" to view an image with colormap.
