Default how to slice and show entire domain

Sorry, this question is very basic, but after searching, I still can't find an answer.
I'm doing external aerodynamic flow, and want to create a slice to show the pressure, velocity, etc. acting on a body.
I unclick the external mesh so I can see the body, and create a slice. But since the domain is unclicked, the slice doesn't show anything.
If I reduce the opacity of the external mesh, leave it on, and create the slice, I can see it through the mesh, but this isn't really a solution.
How can I make the slice show the entire domain, with the body visible, but not the external mesh?

Well, I answered my own question. After creating a slice and then unclicking the internal mesh, I went to file/open and loaded another copy of the original simulation. Then on that one, I made the original body visible, and unclicked the internal mesh. So the combination of the two showed the slice, and the body being sliced.
