Cut Fills in Section

griggadee — Tue, 30 May 2023 08:01:44 GMT

Afternoon folks,

I seem to be having major case of memory loss today! I cannot for the life of me remember how to show my cut fills on composite walls whilst in section. I want to show the same linetypes and fill as in my plan view. See attached screen grab for details.

Could someone please give me a slap in the face and remind me how to do this? I have checked the override options in model view settings and this doesn't seem to be the answer.

Thanks,

If the modelview options are not overriding them, it could be partial structure display or renovation override settings.

Or maybe you are using trace and reference to hide the fills.

Thanks again Erwin.

After playing around with all of those possibilities, but to no avail, I finally deleted the section and drew a new one, and amazingly, it's fine now!

Sometimes, the old 'turn it off & on again' IT advice really does do the business and sort out the unexplainable!

Cheers,

If that is the case I would say might have been the cut elements properties in your section settings.

Thanks Barry.

I tried all of those properties too, but only the 3d materials and the vectorial hatching would come on, not the cut fills. It was very strange indeed!

Cheers,
