Hi all, I am having a problem with not seeing section plane in my layout viewport. I have done the following. View\>Section planes visible, Styles\>Section plane and section cuts enabled, Scenes Panel\> Active section planes enabled, Update and saved and refreshed in layout still no section plane showing.

This is a known issue. See the recent thread on the topic.

> Hello. I have a scene in Sketchup showing my section planes. They are not active in that scene, I just want them visible for the purposes of the presentation. When I import the scene in LayOut, the section planes become invisible. When I enter the viewport, they appear as they are in Sketchup, but when I exit the viewport, they disappear. I checked the style many times and played with changing it, but it didn’t help. Please advice! Thank you.
