Sub family masking region effect

I am having a real difficult time with a toilet stall family I have. Hoping someone can figure out why the end partition panels seem to have a mask associated with them that is blocking out the toilet. See screenshot showing that the toilet is partially blocked in section views even though it is in front of the solid partition. FWIW the partition family did have a masking region associated with it but I deleted that and the problem persists. 

 

I am attaching the family. Thanks in advance for the help!

Change the family to Casework or Generic Models category.

The specialty equipment is not cuttable. Usually you can change to category as @ToanDN mentioned. However if you have to keep it specialty equipment category for scheduling purposes, you have to use filter and change the family transparency to 100%

I have so many questions... Overriding the transparency doesn't remove the line through the toilet or hide the elements that will show through from behind so that doesn't seem great.. So specialty equipment always shows the elevation view even if things are cut? Why would they do that? What is the specialty equipment category even supposed to include? I'll look into changing the stalls to a different category. What category do you guys use for stalls?

Specialty equipment category is never cuttable. I believe 2023 allows you to cut specialty with a click of a button. If you are using older version, you have to use generic model, casework, site or structure column

Why would they do that?  The original intent is to show architectural drawings free of non-architectural noises, for example you see a toilet paper dispenser 'silhouette' elevation instead of a section with all internal components.

 

What is the specialty equipment category even supposed to include? Grab bars, toilet accessories, anything that fit the 'intent' above.

 

I'll look into changing the stalls to a different category. What category do you guys use for stalls? For simplicity I would use Generic Models category.
