Control the visibility of section objects when you render, plot, or view them in the DWF file viewer.
With live sectioning turned on, all lines on a section object are rendered as 2D lines. The section plane indicator is rendered as a transparent material. Its degree of transparency is controlled in the Properties palette.
If you want to render a 3D cutaway, save the cutaway section as a 3D block and render the block reference.
When a section object is in a Section Boundary or Section Volume state, displayed lines cannot be plotted. The section plane indicator is plotted as if it were transparent. However, it does not have the same visual quality that it has when it is rendered.
If you do not want to plot the section line, place the section object on a layer that is turned off.
When live sectioning is active for a section object, the 3D model is displayed in the Autodesk® Design Review with the best possible visual quality. Geometry that is hidden by live sectioning is also hidden in the viewer.
Display settings for live sections have the same appearance in the viewer as they have in the drawing. For example, dashed linetypes and hatch patterns assigned to intersected areas of a 3D model are retained in the Design Review display.
The section object is not visible in Design Review.
