i am trying to show the hidden cut elements of beam in a concrete wall and don't understand which setting will show the hidden line-work of the beam? i have moved the section marker to determine if that is the problem but have not solved. i would think this has to be an easy setting but smh....

The building material of the beam needs to be stronger than the building material in the wall, otherwise the wall will cut the beam, and there will be no beam to show.

i will try that and see how it will impact the rest of the beams. on another note, as i was fiddling with layer Intersection group number, by mistake noticed the change as well.
