Hi everyone!

I have a question that might be lame or sound silly, but ...

Imagine we have (solid) parts (pipes, blades, tubes, shrouds .. whatever) that are used for extraction of the flow volume, and that volume is meshed afterwards and simulation run on that mesh. Good.

We surely can plot simulation results as anything anywhere inside the volume, but showing the (solid) parts makes it more representative.
Yet showing them might block (or cover) all the simulation results displayers.

One way - is to make (solid) parts transparent, but that does not always look good.

Another way - is to display them sliced, like in the attached image (stolen from the internet).

But:
- Displayer (surface) of a plane section (with Parts property set to solid parts) would show only contours of the intersection of the plane with surfaces of the part as the part does not have a volume mesh representation;
- Clip Planes .. just clip, they do not show (fill) the clip section (as it does in 3D-CAD tool);

So I wonder - how can a section of a Part be shown filled in a Scene?

PS The only dumb solution I can imagine is to mesh solid parts too .. but that is insane.
