Can objects be visible throught Hidden Line Renders?

Hello,

Perhaps this post should be in a the 'General' forum, apologies if so.

I'm creating electrical and plumbing plans for a kitchen. I have an electrical layer (coloured red) and a plumbing layer(coloured blue). I also have a furniture layer with all my kitchen cabinets on.

I have created a section viewport with these three classes visible in a hidden line render.

The problem I have is that all my electrical and plumbing 'objects' (I'm actually creating 3d representations of sockets etc) cannot be seen through the cabinets which are hidden line. If I have a socket box on the wall behind a kitchen cupboard, the socket is visible in a plan viewport (which is wireframe) but not in my hidden line elevation section viewports.

Is there any way to select a layer or class and make it visible through ALL objects, even if it's a hidden line render?

I've played around with the 'opacity' settings in layer details, but this does not work in section viewports.

Thanks

Greg

You may be able to create two viewports, the main Hidden Line viewport, then on top of that you can have a second viewport (duplicated in place from the first) that renders in wireframe and only has the classes of the electrical and plumbing components visible.
