Hello,

I'd like to exclude parts from being cut by a section view.

I've found a few resources, but I can't seem to get it to work:

EDIT: Figured I'd add a few more resources in case other people are looking for the same thing:

Excluding from drawings, not assemblies:

Options for section view / assembly cuts:

Section view property manager: How to exclude a part from a section view (doesn't specify, but this only works on drawings)

Section scope, SolidWorks official help pages:

Show fasteners in section view, from Yahoo Groups:

Another from the forums here, with basically the same answer:

Here is the issue I'm having, and it looks like I'll solve it with Patrick's solution listed below:
