Vw2025 Section Viewport Object Visibility - Troubleshooting

[cberg]

Can anybody help troubleshoot how to adjust object level visibility in a section viewport? 

 

• Yesterday, I set up a sheet of viewports with the desired object visibility. I closed and saved the files. This morning, all the hidden objects reappeared. 
• In the screen recording, I try resetting the Object Visibility in the first viewport and “re-hiding” the objects.  Editing the model via “Section in Place” does not change object visibility in the viewport.
• In the second viewport, I edit ”Section in Place.”  The hidden object is invisible in model space but visible in the viewport.

 

Am I missing something?  Or is this a bug that needs to be worked out?  I thought I read somewhere that Section Viewport object-level visibility can be adjusted via “Edit Section In Place”.

Right-click on the VP + select 'Edit' to open the 'Edit Viewport' dialog: do you need to enable 'Apply object visibility changes'?

Thank you for alerting me to that dialogue box. It was unchecked, and grayed out since I don't usually use the Edit command.

 

As I explore the file, however, something still seems wonky. 

 

In my main work file I wound up deleting Section Viewport 2 (a-1 Angle Section) and recreating it from the design layer viewport.  That action reset the visibilities of sections 5 and 6 which are now behaving as I would expect. 

 

Sharing a stripped down version of that file to see if you see something that I do not.

There appears to be a bug associated with object-level visibility. After setting up a file with three sheets of viewports (35+), each with object-level visibility set during viewport creation, the file decided to show objects that were set to be invisible in a half dozen viewports (just before the project was set to print). 

 

Zombie invisible object keep reappearing. 

 

This type of software glitch is very frustrating and can result in significant quality control issues with Construction Documents / Production Drawings.

And then there are the partially hidden object artifacts.... Sigh. 

 

The objects that won't go away are symbols that appear to be cut by the section viewport if that helps troubleshoot the issue.
