I created a clip cube so that only my desired objects were visible. Now no issues of a front view, and seeing through to objects behind what I wanted to show. Perfect. Use the command to create a viewport , and "Display with clip cube" so only my clipped view would be in the viewport, and I could give it annotations. Ha...! The checkbox was greyed out. Much head scratching until you hover over it, and read the info. " ...Only available in shaded and renderworks modes" Why is it so hard to do a section, or clip cube view port in wireframe? I went down that wrong road too! Sad. The solution is easy. Give us wire frame in the section VP. Quote Link to comment
line-weight Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I don't really understand what you're trying to achieve. I'm not quite sure how a section of a wireframe would really be meaningful or useful. Can you post something that lets us see what you're trying to show? Quote Link to comment

For my Architectural work, I use Section Viewports all the time for Building Sections, Interior Elevations, Exterior Building Elevations, Detail Elevations, etc. For Exterior Building Elevations I use SLVPs so I can show the grade line close to the building face. Interior Elevations have gotten better in recent releases, but sometimes I find Section SLVPs easier to control. I have not run into the issues you had with adding dimensions to circles on Section SLVPs, for example to locate pipes penetrating walls. (Granted I am not dimensioning them to the millimeter). If I were drawing the cabinetry details from your example, I would have drawn the shelf bracket support holes with 2D circle annotations in the Hidden Line SLVP. I would not bother with modeling them in 3D. Edited January 1 by rDesign Quote Link to comment

I would not bother with modeling them in 3D. That is an option. I assume it would work to be able to snap to the center. Even so, not being able to see the outline of the dividers on the cabinet sides is still a problem. I've moved on and I have given up the idea of using section VPs to do what I need to do. 1 Quote Link to comment
