I've been having a problem which I've been working around using 2d fills in my sections but I feel I'm just missing something that is probably obvious to most users.
I'm working on a section cut through a house. Part of the house has batt insulation in a cathedral ceiling roof and the rest of the roof is cellulose insulation. I want to have the insulation be a physical element in the model but I also want to see the trusses in section which are often not directly on a cut line. No matter what I do I can't seem to get the insulation fill to show the pattern but have the background be transparent.
As you can see in the first image I have the cut fill override on and background set to transparent for the element, I went into the building material and set the background to transparent but I still can't see anything that is behind the fill. If I manually draw in a 2d fill I can set the background to transparent and it works fine but if I need to move the section cut line I need to adjust the fill instead of it just updating. There is the same problem with the batt insulation as well as the cellulose. I even tried making a graphic override which singles out those two materials but it doesn't seem to do anything.
Has anyone run into this before? If so did you find a solution?
Still looking?
