Nothing shown after playing with persistent section cut

Post by MrE10 »

Hello

So I've played around with the new section cut feature and after trying the "Keep only cuts visible when closing" hook I don't see anything anymore. No matter which body I show/hide, nothing is shown. Reopening FreeCAD didn't help neither. Any idea what I could do? Is there a way to "reset" this?

thanks a lot

all bodies are invisible (why: I don't know)
I made them visible one by one: kicking the space bar

Tried dozens of times... did never work for me 🤷‍♂️
I finally restored the file from backup.

Well done, Thanks.

You could add the info to the first post to make it more visible, but this is a minor issue.

General note: please provide a _simple_/small file to demonstrate a bug.

To your issue, in your screenshot I can see that no cut was ever made.
That you don't see anything is because you hided everything.

Take for example this state:

You won't see anything. Why? Because when you look into the Body container, all its items are hidden:

Make e.g. the last item visible and you will see something.

Concerning the section cut, once you created one, you will see it in the model tree:

And if I'm not mistake the cut is made based on what is visible so I don't thing you'll be able to make a cut until you make at least one object visible
