Revit family behind clip plane showing in elevation

[nvasquezTJQVG]

I have a Revit family showing behind the clip plane of an elevation I'm working on. I don't want it to show and only want to display what it in front of the clip plane. For context the entire bathroom is a family with nested families. I've looked at the documentation for cuttable families and have placed them into the furniture category. This has still not helped. I've attached some images for additional context.

Which Revit version are you using? 2023 and above allows you make the plumbing fixture cutable by checking on this setting.

If you are using Revit 2022 or lower, then you have to use Generic Model, Casework, Site, Structural column or Architectural column to have the family cuttable.

Set all nested family to Shared.

This worked! Can I ask why?

When the nested families are not shared, Revit treat the entire thing as one entity in the project, so you will see everything being projected because the parent family is under pluming category, which is not cutable.

When the nested families are shared, Revit treat them as individual families in the project, so if some are behind the elevation / section view cut line they will not show.
