Excluding component from section

Hi.


I created isometric view of an assembly (tappered roller bearing) and created offset crossection removing one quarter of bearing. Then I excluded twotappered rollers that were intersected by crossection from that crossection trying to make bearing look a bit better. But there is a problem. Hatching of inner ring that is behind a roller keeps appearing through non-sectioned roller. It is obviously a bug. How can I avoid that. Does anyone has a workaround.
 
I have struck a similar problem with keys in keyways on shafts. I either exclude both or neither from the section.

One workaround is to set up your taper roller so the rollers don't appear on the section plane

Also, is the taper roller a part or a sub-assembly?

I can understand how the cage on the section plane could appear from behind an excluded roller but I can't see how the inner ring would. Can you post a picture?
 
Tahnks Dell_boy. Can you clarify "One workaround is to set up your taper roller so the rollers don't appear on the section plane"?!


Here is a picture. The bearing in use is TIMKEN XR820060 with two inner rings.

A picture IS worth a 1000 words

These are views of a ball bearing created as a part.

In the top pair of views there are balls at 0
 
I suppose the Simp Rep could be useful in this case


create special Simp Rep in assembly and than set it in the drawing view You want, so finaly You will obtain view without this parts
 
A simplified Rep will be of no benefit if the bearing is a part instead of a sub-assembly which is the way I would do it by default.

If the bearing needs to be a full assembly and the roller count is important, the Simplified Rep will upset the quantities.

You also have to create the Simplified Rep and remember to use it. With previous Foundation bundles you couldn't create Simplified Reps; you needed AAX to create them. With Foundation Advantage bundle you can create them.
