When clipped, a block will not display as a solid. Not sure if this is a setting I cant find or if this is a regression or…
Hi Brady are the objects inside the block set to solid in the section style?
(Rhino WIP, 8.0.22277.12305)
Setting the subobjects to Section Style by clipping plane is working for me, too.
Changing to by Parent then changing one block to Solid
By Layer
Hmm. I can get a “solid fill” but that’s not the same as displaying the clipped object as solid all the way through showing the material properties. I spent some time messing with all those settings you pointed out but couldnt get more than the solid fill hatch pattern. I attached a screenshot from rhino 7 which is what I need to achieve.
Hi Brady -
You’ll need to set the clipping plane fill to the render material in the display mode that you are using:
If that’s not it, please post a file that we can check.
-wim
That didnt do it. Is that a block reference you have show in that screenshot? The problem relates to only blocked objects.
Hi Brady -
Yes, that is a block instance:
-wim
Hmmm. I just opened a blank WIP file. Made a cube, blocked it, clipped it…this is what I am getting.

Hi Brady,
I am thinking it is an issue with your existing file.
Email me and let me know if I already have this file to test.
If it is a setting in the file or the display mode, I should be able to isolate it here.
Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann Fugier
You already have the file, its that big file we have been working in lately
Awesome!
Thanks.
Stay tuned. 
Sincerely,
Mary Ann Fugier
Hi @brady1,
I was able to duplicate this with Rhino 8WIP.
I logged RH-70874 Render Material Not Displaying for Clipped Block.
Thank you for letting us know.
We will post here what it is fixed.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann Fugier
Thank you!
Hi Brady,
I also logged this one for RH-70877 Clipping Plane Material Not Showing As Clipping Plane Fill
Not sure of you have run into it.
But it is on the pile too.
However, it see on any object, not specific to a block.
Thanks!
Mary Ann Fugier
I have seen this one yes! Thanks Mary

Hi Brian,
When the block is clipped it is showing as “solid” now but still does not show the render material.
That one is still open and was put on the list by Mary earlier in this thread:
-wim
Understood, thanks Wim.
