Section not showing accurate elements in model

Hi guys

I am trying to create a section view of a I beam steel member. I am placing my section through the steel beam member, however it is showing the base plate at the end of the beam and not the cross section of the beam itself. Can anyone help? Please see images below

The family is set to show Pre-Cut

 

Edit the family and uncheck this option in the properties palette

Thanks for your help RDAOU. I am still having trouble. I have a linked DWG file, and no matter what I do, it won't allow me to get the section cut, it just gives me the full pre-cut view. Do you know of any way around this? I want to keep the DWG link in case I ever update my model in autocad.

Are the structural steel elements a dwg 3d element or a Revit native family?

 

If they are a 3D DWG, it needs to be linked into a cuttable family...ie: into an in-place generic model. Only then they would be cuttable

The elements are a linked dwg 3D. Ok great. How do I link it into a cuttable family? My main concern is if I edit the 3d DWG in autocad, if I can still update it later in Revit. Is this achievable? Thanks very much for your help

You go to the tab Architecture >> Component >> Model in Place Component >> Select the Category Generic Model >>> Set a name for the in place >>> Go to Insert Tab >>> Link the DWG

 

 

late you can do with it whatever you want...you just need to edit the in place first
