I often have assemblies where I have created a room by extruding a floor sketch so I have 4 solid walls.
Then I need to insert parts (my wall padding) on the walls.
Sometimes I would like to do that when in section view, but when I insert the part (my wall pads), you cannot see the part.
Is there a way to help predefine which area of an assembly you part will go to?
2017 has improved this functionality and part/model doesn't hide even if fully on other side of the section plane.
For older version, you can orient to different views while placing them to make sure you don't place the component on other side.
