Strange 3d section behaviour???
I am having a strange problem.
I have a model which was drawn in Pro-E. It has been exported to STEP and I have imported it into Alibre with no problems. The model looks fine. I can also do 3d sections where I select all the parts, a cutting plane and everything looks fine.
I then save the model as an alibre model and exit alibre. I later open the saved model and try to do a 3d section, ie I select all the parts and a cutting plane. However, when I activate the 3d section, half of the parts in the assembly are automatically hidden. When I manually unhide the parts that were hidden, then they are not sectioned...?!?!? If I try to do a 3d section on those parts that are automatically hidden, then instead of sectioning, they are hidden again????
However, if I open the problem parts in thier own window as parts and then do a 3d section, there is no problem... It is only in the assembly mode where there is a problem.
I can't remember something like this in 8.2?
Is anybody else having a similar problem?
Best regards,
Marc
