Hi all.
I have recently noticed something about my latest 2022 SP5 version that has a glitch when using "Section View" withoin the modelspace. (Not Drawing file.)
What I have seen is when using the section view tool in the HUD command bar, I can no longer select any edges that would be hidded if not for the section view. If that make sense.
I mean, section viewenable a slice thru the model to select and view items that would be hidden by otheres. But I am not able to select edges thru the hidden bodies.
I thought I was having a "Mandela Effect" moment.. But no, I opened up my older 2014 and 2016 versions and they worked differently/correctly.
Is anyone else experiencing this.? Or is there a setting/workaround for this I am unaware of.? Or is is a deliberate new Feature I did not see in the What's New..?
Not having the ability to select edges thru faces that are hidden by section view is surprisingly frustrating sometimes..

Re: Section View - Model Space.
If you have "Graphics only section" selected, this will indeed be the case.
(I use graphics only, when I need a section view on a particulary large/resource heavy model or if there are errors that are preventing me from doing a full section view)
