This may be a little obscure, because to start with I'm trying to do something which might not be officially "allowed": I have created a 3d symbol, the 3d component of which contains another 3d symbol, plus a 2d symbol set to "page units" rather than "world units".
(This is to allow me to have a symbol which I can choose to display as 3d geometry to "world" scale in some viewports, and as a 2d symbol to "page" scale in other viewports. This is one, but not the only reason that I am not putting the 2d geometry into the container symbol's 2d component.)
I wasn't sure this would work, but it seems that it does, at least in a top/plan viewport, where I am only displaying the 2d symbol (the 3d part is turned off by class).
However something strange happens in a Horizontal Section Viewport, because if I update the viewport at certain zoom levels, the 2d symbol gets rendered twice, once at "world" scale and once at "page" scale.
The same problem doesn't occur in the top/plan viewport.
Hopefully the screen recording below clarifies. I have attached a file containing the symbol too.
