Section Viewports showing red

[evaa]

I'm new to Vectorworks/3D modelling in general, so I'm sorry if this is a really obvious problem.

I am creating a section of my extruded model (with cutouts etc) and the interior parts where it would be solid, in the section viewport, show up red.

I've tried a few different sections and I know of others who had the same thing, is this a generic thing when you cut a section? And is there a way to get rid of it?

Thanks

There is a default class that controls the attributes of the section. Called "Section Style", I think.

You can change the color and pen weights of that class.

Or in the OIP of the viewport click Advanced Properties > Attributes Tab > and you can set the Section style to use any class you like

As Michael says it is a new Class created by the Section Viewport process with predetermined graphic attributes of red fill and black 1.02 mm lines.

• To change its graphic appearance you need to edit this Section Style Class.
  
• There is no program preference for the graphic attributes of this Section Style Class. It just comes as it is.
  
• The only way to vary its default appearance is to have that Class in your document prior to creating a Section Viewport. For example you could have it included in your template files.

When i make a section i see no fill at all ... any idea how that's possible?

And now section viewport option even has dissapeared out of the menu ...

Disappeared? Hmm. Try changing your workspace to one of the standard workspaces shipped with the program. In the Architect workspace the command "create section VP" is in the View menu, for example...
