Sorry for some reason I was thinking of a section not an elevation.

In elevation it is the surface that has to have a fill associated to it as Kevin mentioned.

And you must turn on the 'Surface Cover Fill Foreground' in the elevation settings as you have shown.

The mesh needs to be solid (which it looks like yours is) and then use a building material that has the cut fill type that you want to see.

Can you show me the material?
I can see it from the section, but not from the elevation.

If you want the earth fills from the "Elevation" you need to control it via cover fill (like how you would normally show brick pattern from elevation)

1. Check your section/elevation to show "Surface cover fill Foreground" on

2. Choose the mesh edge with earth cover fill (check your surface)
