In Wildfire 4, after I created a cross section, I could activate that cross section and Wildfire 4 would hide all components that were fully on the clip side of the cross section plane. Wildfire 4 would also clip any parts that had material on both sides of the cross section plane, so that only material left on the unclipped side stayed visible. So I could set a cross section, activate it, and see half of a given part, or see inside a hollow part.
In Creo 3.0, if I activate a cross section I see the outline/crosshatching showing where there is material at that plane, and components entirely on the clip side still disappear, but any components with material on both sides of the clip plane remain unclipped. Is there a way to clip components that cross a cross section plane so I can “see inside” or see more than the 2D outline and hatching?
Basically, if I had a tire with embossed writing inside one sidewall and set a cross section through the midplane of the tire (perpendicular to its axis), WF4 would let me see the inside of the sidewall because it would hide the other half of the tire, while it looks like CREO3 will only show a hatched outline of the hub and tread superimposed on a view of the outside of the tire - I'd need a cut plane right at the writing for it to show up in the xsec outline.
