SECTION VISIBILITY: Displaying only certain element of the same layer

Johann_P

I have a section which shows multiple open web steel joists.
Part of the building is at an angle with the section cut plane, thus multiple joists are visible making it look incorrect (even though it practically is correct)

I would like to only show one of the joists so the webs of the joists at the rear are not visible.

There are other joists on the same layer that is at 90° with the section and looks correct.

Is there a way to hide some of the elements on a particular layer?
So only 1 joist is visible in portion B of the drawing while still showing all the joists in portion A

Limit the depth of the section view? Or, set some of the joists’ appearance light gray or white with a GOR?
