When importing the context with Cesium, then creating a section box, I leave the section box and Cesium context in a separate layer. The section box cuts through all layers successfully, but when I try to cut only the context, it stops working.
If you place a section box on the same layer as the Cesium Data, selecting “All” in Visibility Layer will affect all layers (cuts through everything), while selecting “Current” only affects the mode or data that was placed in the same Layer. I think you may need to place your 3d Model in the same layer as the Cesium Data and Section Cube.
- “All” - Cesium is on a different layer, 3d Model and Section Cube in Layer 2
- “Current” - Cesium is on a different layer, 3d Model and Section Cube in Layer 2
hi
What I need is to make the section only affect the model imported from Cesium, and not the design geometry I want to implement on a site. I want to remove the existing constructions that come with the Cesium model on a site, but I can’t manage to make the section box cut only Cesium.
My apologies, this might be a limitation on Cesium Integration, we’ll improve Cesium in subsequent releases.
I would like to suggest that instead of just having a section box, allow us to draw a section container of our own shape, such as a free-form polygon. That way, we can mask out irregularly shaped properties with non-square property lines.

Alright @eadams
I also highly suggest posting this in Ideas and Requests. Thanks for your feedback and suggestion.
This functionality is imperitive for many projects that don’t fit inside a “box”. Imagine infrastructure projects like roadways, trails, rail, etc. that exist on long, narrow, curvilinear extents in relation to the existing context. We need the ability to design custom clip objects that mask out the Cesium Google Earth (or whatever) context.
