zoeageorg Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I'm trying to create a section viewport on a really simple model of a house there's nothing unusual about it! but when i create section viewport (to a new or existing sheet layer) i just get a tiny box with a red X cross in it. I've tried making sure the layers and classes are on and messed around with a few settings but nothing seems to work 1 Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 It looks like an Empty Viewport. Have you clicked the Layers and Classes buttons in the OIP (Object Info Palette) to make sure the layers and classes are set to visible there as well as in the Navigation palette? Quote Link to comment
0 93939393 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I'm having the same problem, every Classes and Layers are on. And I didn't change the settings, and it was working before. Quote Link to comment
0 Boh Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Maybe your classes are off or your current visible design layer is empty and you somehow checked the “Use current document layer/class visibility settings” box in the class or layer settings dialogues? Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Select the viewport. Click the Layers... button and make sure the layers you want to see are set to visible in the viewport. Click the Classes... button and make sure the classes you want to see are set to visible in the viewport. Right Click on the viewport and choose Edit Crop. Select All and Delete any Crop Object that exists. It is possible that you have the viewport cropped to an area of the drawing that has no objects. Make sure the Viewport is set to a class that is visible in the Navigation Palette. 1 Quote Link to comment

0 zoeageorg Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 the problem was with the 'section line instances' when i ticked the layers i wanted the section to cut through, it starting working don't know what it wasn't automatically cutting through the layers i had switched on when i made the viewport Quote Link to comment
0 LHG Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 This is the first time I've experienced this issue. I am also trying to take a section cut/sectional viewport and its generating a red box with cross. I have checked the section line instances. How anyone be able to take a look at file?

0 michaelk Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Select the section viewport. In the OIP click on Advanced Properties… > Extents Your height range is set to be Finite from 0 to 0 Change it to Infinite or give a range greater than 0. 3 Quote Link to comment
