Break out section in a sectioned view?

Break out section in a sectioned view?

Break out section in a sectioned view?

(OP)
I have a sectioned view and have one revolved part unsectioned.
I tried to create a break out section over this unsectioned part but i can see nothing. ie I cannot obtain a view of the inner section of that unsectioned part.

Am I doing something wrong or which is not possible in NX, or is there an alternative?

RE: Break out section in a sectioned view?

There is a setting to allow taking a section from a section; it is not activated OOTB because it goes against ASME standards.

Any idea as to where to check/uncheck it?

Have you tried changing setting for the breakout for cutting thru or not cutting thru the model, or changed your vector direction of cut?
just a thought.

Isn't the unsectioned property of part also blocking the break out section?

@ Wayne, I've tried the cut through part Option and changed the vectors, but no success. It does not Show the break out section.

@ Ronald, I dont think the unsectioned part will block the non-sectioned part. My assembly is something like Image attached
