Turtle49:
To filter or change the cross sectioning of particular solids in a view:
1. right click on the view frame and select "Overload Properties". You will get a pop-up window.
2. pick the part in the view to add it to the list in the pop-up window.
3. highlight the part in the list and select "edit".
You can change the cross-section and display properties of each part shown in the view this way.
Good Luck.

Hi,
Scenes seem better than overload properties, because it's easy to modify what you want to see in the scene/view. Talking about Large assembly. But you cannot switch scene for one view, you need to create a new view for the new scene.
Overload properties make it easier to define what is cut or not in a section. if you define that in 3D it's for all sections.
in R13 you can define SET in 3D for a view but its not associative. It's just like preselection... fine but not really great.
Scenes, like overload properties work only for assembly views.
I really miss filters on views like V4...Hope it will come soon.
Or they need to improve the selection of the overload properties (selection from a tree not from generated element in view, or both...).
Sorry for not really giving you THE solution, try those and find which suits (the best) your needs.
