Assembly section view not sectioning FG parts

When I make a half section view in an assembly the frame generator members do not section, they remain full length.  Is this normal or something with my setup?

2012 SP2.

if you are talking about sectioning in actual assembly goto - Application options - Assembly and make sure "Section all parts" checked.

Thanks, strange its not set to on as default

Just to add an extra solution to this issue - if you are still having issues with FG parts showing, even after you select "Section all parts" in Application

Options, ensure you select 'Always' in the Section View's Display Options Tab:

 

I had mine set at 'Obey browser Settings', but changing it to 'Always' had my FG parts sectioning correctly.

My FG parts are still not cutting automatically. Ive tried all the above and nothing is working. Its absolutely infuriating.

Hi! Do you mind sharing an example here or send it to me directly (johnson.shiue@autodesk.com)? I would like to understand the behavior better.

Many thanks!

Heres an example of the issue with all above suggestions in place. It seems to only happen my own custom frame generated parts. The issue must lie there I assume.
