Clip Cube Wireframe Viewport (?)

[trashcan]

Clip cube shows correctly in Design Layer renderer: Wireframe. 

Making a Viewport and Display With Clip Cube selected. 

Viewport shows the whole darn model!

Buggy-bug? Or is it supposed to work this way? 

I seem to remember that you could do Wireframe + Clip Cube in a VP. 

Plz halp

 

What gives? Any ideas?

Dumb question - so dashed hidden line in section view kind of does what I achieve, but if there's a lot, say, behind the room where my section is, how can I easily hide it rather than class every damn little thing? That's what I was trying to do by using clip cube lolol.

You can control depth with the section advanced properties.

 

However you should be able to control most of that with the clip cube as well.

 

For example, I affectionally call this a 3D RCP aka C-3PO (clipped from all 6 sides to isolate a cut “plane” of roughly 4’ to 15’):

@Mark Aceto the image didn't make it!

[Mark Aceto]

it's neither here nor there (literally) because i just tested it (my hopes and dreams are crushed)

 

2 options:

1. try to control as much as possible with section viewport OIP settings, properties... 
2. as much as i cringe to say this (i have a buddy that does this all the time), take a screenshot, and import the image to a sheet layer (just threw up in my mouth and swallowed a little)
   • to me, this is the nail in the coffin about how the clip cube workflow fails documentation (or rather documentation fails the clip cube)
