I have 2 different sections through a stairwell, one looking north, and the other looking south. At the floor opening above, there are header walls, with steel beams running partially inside the header walls. Both section views are the same scale, same detail level, hidden line, etc. In one view, the entire beam is visible, with part of it inside the wall. In the other view, it appears as if part of the beam is obscured by the wall (only the part outside the wall is visible). Both section views cut both the walls and the beams, so I can't understand the difference here. Anyone know?

Could you take a screen shot? Or maybe post your porject file? Then i think we will be able to help

If you flip the sections do you see what the opposite one saw? That would probably tell you if it was the view or the model that was different.

August 18 is coming up. Getting psyched? Congratulations to you both.

Yep, when I flip the section that looks correct (entire beam visible), then suddenly the wall appears to obscure the beam, even though both are being cut. I can't understand why it would be doing that.
