Updating a Live Section View
When you create a live section view, the sectioned objects are not converted
into a section object. Instead, the objects remain in the drawing. The objects
and object areas which are inside the section line retain their previous display
properties. A brick wall inside a section line retains its brick pattern and its
dark red linework. The objects and object areas outside of the section line
change their display properties, since they are now placed on the Sectioned
Body display component and use its display properties.
The live section updates interactively when you change the objects associated
with it. If you drag a wall outside of the section line, the wall uses the display
properties of the Sectioned Body component. If you drag a wall inside of the
section line, the wall uses its own display properties.
When you change the material assignment of an object in a live section view,
the new material is automatically used in the live section.
NOTE If you change from a material in which the Sectioned Boundary and
Sectioned Body components are turned on, to a material in which these
components are turned off, it might look as if objects outside of the section line
disappear. You can edit the current material definition to display objects outside
of the section line, as described in Displaying the Sectioned Body in a Live Section
View on page 3239.
Displaying the Sectioned Body in a Live Section View
Use this procedure to display the parts of the drawing in a live section view
that are outside the section.
Whether objects and areas of objects outside the section line are displayed in
the live section view depends on the material settings for each object and
object style. The sectioned objects inside the section are displayed with their
regular display components and material assignments. For example, a brick
wall inside a section displays its regular brick surface hatch.
Objects or object parts that are outside of the section are displayed differently.
You can either hide them completely, or display them on the Sectioned Body
display component. The Sectioned Body display component is specified in
the material assigned to the object.
The sectioned body is often displayed in a lighter, half-transparent color, or
as dotted linework.
