Exclamation View Properties -> Visibility Tab Settings

My first step was to base a new design from an old one. So, the 3D model was copied over and the drawing .mi as a new variant to the new model.

So far so good.

Upon doing a View > Manage > Update, a certain section view blew up. This section is a staggered type. I've tried to re-create it from scratch, however, I get the same pending results as the update gave.

So, here's the problem. While doing a click on the troubled view and going to the View Properties > Visibility tab, there are selections to display or hide certain types of lines. HOWEVER, there is something I need to turn on, but can not seem to find it there. The ability to show background lines in the direction of the section arrows.

Take a look at the original base model .mi view and then the new .mi file images attached.

How do you turn on the section background geometry?

For me it looks like you have created a "section surface only" section view. That way only areas with hatches are displayed.. everything else is left.

For the moment I don't have running OSD in front of my. But looking into online help shows that you can search for this expression . And chapter "Create a section view" shows 3 pictures with that mode.

In the section TAB of view Properties there the 'Surface mode' option. Depending on the parent of your section the option 'Previous sections ' might have an influence, too.

I have been looking for this in the 16.00 help files.
----------------------------------------------------
also be aware of the direction you are looking to the section line. The arrows at the section line are pointing in different directions depending on the standard. --- The right half of where you have lines in the new section view already differs heavily from the original one. (this might be okay, but I can not judge without the parent view or the model)

Re: View Properties -> Visibility Tab Settings

Well, after a call to CoCreate support, the problem was the result of having a corrupt model. When the section crossed over the corrupt surface, the strange section appeared.

To fix the problem of the corruption, I saved the model as a .SAT file and pulled it into SolidWorks. The corruption was fixed using the SolidWorks repair/mending tools. Then the file was re-entered into CoCreate with everything working great like usual.
The section went in like a champ.
