Demolished Topography Transparency in Sections

[Anonymous]

Folks,

This one has been bothering me for a while now, can't find a specific enough thread to this one, and hopefully, someone can assist. 

I have a site with existing topography, which I am cutting into the ground to form the floor of a shed.

My issue is that, as you can see in the image below, the topo - to be demolished at new construction is visible in my section. While I do not want to see the hatch of the topography, it would be useful to see the top line of it as you can do with the elevations (see second image below).

And the elevation, where seemingly this works (see red dashed line)

Put a "building pad" below to cut the topography to be demolished.

Hi,

Thanks for your response but no joy. Can you tell me... does a building pad cut through all topography, both existing and new and also does it cut through sub-regions?

Strangely enough, when the offending topography is selected in the section view, the topo goes transparent. I appreciate this is just 'section' but this is exactly what I need to be able to do.

I just can't understand why it works fine on external elevations but not sections or internal elevations.

Hi andrew,

Yes it does, Building Pad cut through all topo both existing and new construction and it also cut through sub-regions.

I think your problem was the "Phases" . so, Play with the settings and let see how it goes. (see image below)

Under this you can control and modify the project phases , phase filters and graphic overrides.

Hopefully this will be the medicine for your problem.
