Toposolid shown only where it is cut, the rest is ignored - bug

[blank...]

Part of the toposolid that is "in the background" is not shown, only at the plane of the section where it's cut.

Here is what is shown:

And here is what is visible when you select the toposolid, and what should be visible even when it's not selected, because it's there. The whole hill is not shown.

And here's how a building behind the hill is shown. Pretty crazy.

View cropping and Far clipping both turned off. This is clearly a bug.

File attached.

Edit: you can't get the contours of the hill even with the linework!

Edit 2: it's shown in shaded views, so you can at least use it to trace some detail lines over it.

You just need to turn on the Contour subcategories

Unfortunately not. Those are, as the name says, contours, they are not the outlines of the terrain as it's traditionally drawn. Not to mention that depends on contour settings. If you space them tight you get an ugly black splotch (like in your screenshot). If you space them further apart you get equally useless result:

The closest you can get to proper representation is by turning on Folding lines. Which is equally ugly and not something you'd show to anyone:

How it should look:

[SteveKStafford]

I see what you're concerned about. Yeah looks like something they need to look at.

I suggest adding a light tone to the surface pattern of the material.

[SteveKStafford]

I thought about that too, played around with using a subtle background gradient too.

I think it is better than a hard line because there is no such line.
