Trimming to mesh

Can anyone tell me how to trim parts of the slab that are underneath the ground line so that I can't see them in elevation?

A Solid Element Operation (subtraction with downoward extrusion) would do that (depending on the radion button you used to create your mesh), but people will quite often just put a blank white masking fill over it in their elevation. You'll need to change it's display order to bring it to the top first, and keep in mind that the extents of the fill can alter the extents of your placed elevation in PlotMaker.

mask it rather than subtracting the mesh from the slab - you'll want the full slab thickness in your sections won't you?
