      I posted a similar question in Layout before realizing this may be a SU issue.

      I'm trying to set up scenes showing section views. One showing where all the section planes are, the rest showing the section cuts.

      I've been setting up the scene, changing View/Section Planes and View/Section Cuts, turning on and off appropriate layers, etc. Then I run through and find that my section views show all the section planes. Because I'm zooming in to a laarge model to show the details, the arrows are cut off. I'm left with meaningless lines cluttering the views.

      When I turn off View/Section Planes in that scene, the mapping scene shows no section planes either.

      I'm updating my scenes after changes. I've played with visibility settings to no avail. What am I missing?

      Thanks,

      Jim

        And another question while I"m at it— in the map of section cuts, is there a way to lable which section is which in SU? 3-D text is over the top, and if I use plain ol' text and attach a leader to the section line or arrow, it moves to include the text box and leader.

          Update— It's a mystery, but what was not working for me last night is working this morning. I am able to turn off sections by turning off their layers. When I update the scene it stays updated.

          Operator fatigue, overheated computer, I don't know what was the issue.

          Thanks anyway,

          Jim
