Cut Zones in 3D document

jkershaw — Fri, 11 Mar 2022 17:09:31 GMT

I'm trying to create a 3D document section by using the marquee tool. The results in the 3D Window are as expected. However, in the 3D Document, the Zones being cut through are always solid, no matter what "Cut Elements" setting is chosen in the 3D Document Settings.

I understand that the "Cut Elements" is asking for a fill, so we set the Surface Cover Fill to correspond to the color of the Surface. However, it always shows as black.

The "Cut Surface Display" within Filter and Cut Elements in 3D is set correctly.

I suspect this is an issue with Zones. Anyone have a solution?

Figured it out - graphic overrides. Facepalm. Would delete the OP if I knew how to do so...

I would leave the post... For the sake of future generations

These are my settings for cut zones in 3D docs.

I have matching Surfaces and Zone Stamp colours. The one thing missing at the moment in 25 is that Zone stamps can't use Surfaces
