Abstract

We shall use the ``iterated Venetian blind'' construction to show that the packing dimensions of plane sections of subsets of $\mathbb R^n$ can depend essentially on the directions of the planes. We shall also establish the instability of the packing dimension of sections under smooth diffeomorphisms.
