Hello, 

 

I'd like to know if there is a way to see materials in 3d cutaways as solids.

For example I want to see studs as a solid, not as a 6 plane object that i can "see through". The same with beams, sheathing, etc.

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

Especially the terrain. Would be nice. 
At the moment you will only see the terrain cut fill if the camera is outside the terrain in an elevation. 
 

Maybe, I’m wrong but Chief does not have a proper “cutfill” feature like other softwares do. 
 

What we have is the almost useless, Autodetail tool.

One of the first suggestions ideas I had about the 3D cutaways. If they were shown as solids then the detailing would be epic with those 3D cutaway shots used in details. But alas, not happening.

is there any workaround you know about?

I don't know of any work around.

 

You could build framing and carefully place and drag various studs and floor joists so they are positioned in such a way that your section is just in front of those framing members.  So floor joists would have to be parallel to the section cut, etc...
