Glazing transparancy in section window

[Scott Bulmer]

I am stumped. When projecting a section/elevation, is there a way to prevent elements beyond the glass of a window from appearing in the window? Please see attached.
Thanks,
Scott

Theoretically... (don't remember if I tried it, but I think I did) shouldn't it work to just open the first view, and then redefine all the other views without opening them? I would think that since you're only changing the settings, you should not have to open each view in order to redefine it.

Yes, except you don't need to open any particular view at all. In the view editor you can select any number of views and redefine them all to the current settings. Besides scale and display options this will also reset the dimension settings and 3D transparency. Naturally it is usually best not to select views of different types when you do this.

Is it not the case that if you have view A open, redefine it, select view B from your view set (but don't open it) then redefine B, it is now the same as view A?

No, only its settings apply (Layer Combination, Scale, etc). There is no way to change the source View of a saved view.
