• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• ABSTRACT:
  Solid looks hollow after selecting Volume Cut in Sectioning
  command with HD2 license
  PRE-REQUISITE:
  Tools/ Options/ Mechanical Design/ Assembly Design/ DMU
  Sectioning/ Section Planes/ Allow measures on a section
  created with a single plane: ON
  SCENARIO:
  1. Launch CATIA in HD2 environment. Open Product1.CATProduct.
  2. Click on Sectioning command.
  3. Select Volume Cut.
  RESULT:
  Solid section looks hollow.
  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
  1) The problem occurs when one surface of the solid is
  transparent.

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN CATIA
  Additional Closure Information:
  Incident Diagnosis:
  Solid looks hollow after selecting Volume Cut in Sectioning
  command.
  The volume should have a transparent face.
  Technical Explanation of the Restriction:
  The problem appears if the solid has at least one transparent
  face. A solid with a transparent face is considered as a skin
  because a solid could not have a single transparent face.
  The scenario leading to the issue asks visualization to do
  the capping and there is no visualization capping on skin. As
  a result there is no clipping sectionning displayed on skin,
  because there is no material removal.
  This issue is restriction in our code.
  The problem is not reproduced after changing work object to
  Split.1 because in this case there is no transparent face.
  The transparent face is removed by the application.
