Rafter Visibility in Section

[jaemranm]

Hi,

When I do a section cut I am not seeing the roof rafter that I modelled.  The ones that are cut are seen but not those that are in the foreground.

Turn the Category on. Looks like Structural Trusses and/or Structural Framing. Am I right? Or change the Discipline of the View to Structural.

Next time you can't find something in the View that you know should be there, go through this list:

While this option reveals the rafter it also poses another challenge because all the architectural element that I want are now gone when I change the discipline to structural.

Go to Plan A then. Turn on the Categories.  

[jaemranm]

Unfortunately, the categories are on but the issue is still there. 

[barthbradley]

What category is the elements that are not showing?  

Have you tried the Coordination Discipline?

structural Joist.

Are you talking about Section 3? Turn your Roof Category off.  The rafters are buried inside the Roof.   

...or add a transparency to the roof, or create another roof type for the build-up layers above the rafters and use the one in lieu of the one you have for those Views where you want to show the rafters under the build-up.
