No Depth Mesh not showing up in Zero Depth Section

I'm using AC8.1 so that could be the reason for this.

But I'm taking a zero depth section through my model. And it seems meshes with no depth are not appearing.

Have people realised this? Or is it just me? Any solutions?

Solutions which aren't appropriate are limited depth (as the section staggers) or adding depth to the mesh (as the mesh is being a roof element).

Has this been solved in AC9?

Thanks in advance

VERSION, ladies and gentlemen, VERSION!!!!

If anything does not show in zero depth S/E, make it one mm (or whatever crazy fraction those imperialists across the pond use) deep - shallow? - and it will.

I couldn't do this. As the section I use is a staggered section, and the limited section distance does not do stagered as well.

I should just upgrade to AC9
