A balanced section can only be constructed in the direction of the regional displacement direction of the faults or in the direction of flexural slip on the fold limbs (Dahlstrom, 1970)<ref name=Dahlstrom_1970 />. The appropriate direction can be chosen by an analysis of regional structure maps using the bow string rule, lateral ramps, or drawing the section normal to the trend of the regional compressional or extensional folds (Woodward et al., 1985)<ref name=Woodward_etal_1985>Woodward, N.
