Rhino 8 Bug - Section style settings not applied

[flixchameroy (Felix Chameroy)]

In Rhino 8.0 (I’ve seen other talking here about 8.1, but can’t seem to access it here) on mac0S 13.6, there seem to be some bugs with section styles.

To reproduce :

• Create a simple box
• Create one XY clipping plane
• Set object or layer (probably also plane) section style :
  • try to set a colored background for the hatch : you’ll get the object color as a solid hatch
  • try to set a colored boundary : you’ll get the object color

Clipping section drawings - Section Style - Boundary / Print Color Bug

Hi, could Rhino developers reconsider allowing user to change clipping section drawings lines’ Print Color? Normally I would like to set their Print Color “By Layer”. Currently there is no such option. The lines’ Print Color is always set to “By Display”. I hope I described the problem well. Unfortunately it makes Clipping Section Drawing completely unusable! :-/ Thanks! PS: alternatively, you could implement it in the following way (which seems to be easier) In the Section S…

Hi Theo -

@Theo_Neilson

i’m having this same issue on Rhino 8.12.

I’m not seeing any section style assigned in your file.
You can do so either by layer or by object.

Ah I see, I was applying it to the section itself not the object that it is sectioning. Many thanks!

Hi Theo -

@Theo_Neilson

I was applying it to the section itself […]

You can do it like that as well, but then you need to set an object’s or layer’s section style to “By Clipping Plane”.

But that way is quite a bit more limited as you can only have one style for all objects per clipping plane.
