Section Views displaying wrong objects

Section Views displaying wrong objects

Section Views displaying wrong objects

(OP)
I have been having this problem recently with SW2010.  When I create a section view it is displaying some objects of the model that are BEHIND the view.  It just started doing this recently, and I haven't changed any of the settings, as far as I know. Has anyone had this problem?

As you can see in the attachment, there are gussets on the left and right sides of this structure. When I section it in the middle, with arrows pointing left, it is showing the gussets on the right side, which are behind the section.

RE: Section Views displaying wrong objects

If you go to the part/assembly level and section the part do you get the same result?

This would allow you to narrow it down between the drawing or the part/assembly.

RE: Section Views displaying wrong objects

Is there any chance you have a configuration where the gussets are not mated/located correctly?  Are the gussets somehow defined as fasteners and being excluded from the section cut?

In the tree view, scroll down to "More Properties", go to the tab "Hide/Show Components", select the parts you want to hide.

Have you submitted this to your VAR?

SBaugh - It sections correctly at the Model level

JMarv - The gussets are fully mated and located correctly in the model. They are simple extrusions, not fasteners of from the Toolbox.

Ctopher - I can do that for this time, but need to find the problem. I think it lies somewhere in my settings.

Has anyone had a situation where their SW software just started doing weird things and/or crapped out?

RE: Section Views displaying wrong objects

Dzine3D ... Are you able to ZIP and post the parts, assy & drawing for testing on other machines?

ctopher - NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800. I've never had other graphics issues, except when dealing with parts in the 100mb range.
