As you move the mouse, the levels, and the cut/fill will be presented by the cursor. It is worth noting that the sections presented in this view will use the vertical exaggeration from the main window. If you find the section difficult to visualise because it is too flat, you can increase the vertical exaggeration before viewing the section.
