Having modelled a house, I need to create jogged section planes at various points for elevation sections.  For some reason when I activate the live sectioning, parts of the model behind the section line are hidden.  Please help!

Hello Rob, I suppose that we are talking about 3D, OK?There are 2 main commands for "creating" sections from a 3D solid : SECTION that will create a real section composed of region(s) in the plan defined by 3 points without toughing your initial solid ( your command ? ) SLICE that will cut your solid in 2 with the option of keeping ( or not ) 1 of the 2 solids.Warning : SLICE will destroy your initial solid and I do recommend to do it on a copy of it. Eventually see my file : 3D SOLIDS 01.dwg in the CAD/BIM Blocks library here in the site. Please tell us if this helped or not.

However, live sectioning
can only be active for one section object at a time. Suppose that your
model has two sections objects: Section A and Section B. If Section A has live sectioning turned on and you activate live sectioning for Section B, live sectioning for Section A is automatically turned off."
