Topic: Frozen objects in a block?

[CAB]

In the attached drawing is a block used to display the party walls in a condo project.
Long story made short, I received this drawing for revisions and not sure what app created it.

My question is how was this block created? If you explode it you will see that there are several party walls that do not appear while in the block.
What controls there visibility?

It has an active xclip?

That's exactly what it is.

Confirmed. Active xclip. Also, it appears to be made by "genuine AutoCAD', according to vanilla 2008.

Well you can teach an old dog new tricks.
Off to do some reading.

Thanks

Use XCLIP to turn on the clipping plane and to delete them. You can also use XCLIPFRAME to see the outline of the clipping plane

You're welcome Alan. I'm happy I could help someone before my first coffee.

Thanks fellas.
Never used them before.
XCLIP is at the end of the book so I never made it that far.
That's my excuse.

Smart people don't know it all.

They know where to find it all.

At the swamp of course.
