Drawing. Section View. Bug?

[Vadim-the-Engineer]

When inserting section view of one of the views (main / projected / detailed...) willing to show part from the middle of the web (section E - E) of the IPE profile I still receive the "back" flange on the view even if the line clearly shows where it should start the section... Another issue is the "I" profile appearing in the same section view (blue rectangle) that is not in the model at all...

Check that the I beam part is able to participate in sections.

Could the T beam in the background be a hidden line view?

***Check that the I beam part is able to participate in sections. ***

Meaning? NOT EVERY component can be section-viewed? It is not zero-thickness nor shell nor surface... (which will be legit reason)

***Could the T beam in the background be a hidden line view?***

There are no hidden components except skeleton sketches (by toggle visibility)

right click the relevant part under the IDW browser and check whether the section participation is on. It looks like it has been switched off.

Thanks for the solution! Probably saved me couple of hours trying.

No problem, Vadim.

Glad I could help
