Hello, I read several similar topics but didn’t see an answer so hopefully I’m not wasting your time. [Switching viewport from hybrid or vector to raster fixes the issue but I’ve encountered this many times and I’m hoping to learn what the underlying issue is for future work.]
Section fill looks the way I want in the model:
[can’t post two images… so deleting this one]
But doesn’t look right in layout (hybrid or vector… light blue is the back of the material beyond, the darker gray is the section fill):
That does make it render properly and I can do that for this drawing. Is this just a random glitch or something I can obviate with some kind of best practice?
To be 100% sure use an extension like SectionCutFace or Skalp to place an actual face into the section. This will also allow you to show the section with different materials.
That did it. (Oddly, the first time I tried it I exploded then immediately made it a component… didn’t work… tried it again but made it a group instead and it did work.)
Anyway, thank you all for the replies! Amazed to have so many people trying to help me so quickly. I’ll try to pay it forward somehow.
