I have some pipelines that go from some pumps on the ground to the pipe-rack and some tanks.
I have a drawing that is showing the site from 0 elevation to elevation +6000.
But now I want a new drawing that shows the site from 0 elevation to elevation +12000 but hide just the pipes that are showed on the first drawing, i. e. under +6000 elavation.
Do you think I can build a rule for this?
Any idea how this can be done?
I have a little confusion on creating a section. I have couple of piping and equipment on my view. Im planning to create a section a certain equipment, ex. a pump, i create i by create-view-section flat, and pick a position and apply. but when i update all the changes all the drawing inside the view has been cut to el 2000. My plan is to cut or section only the pump to el 2000. but the whole drawing sectioned to el 2000. how can i do this? hope you can help me.
many thanks

if you have only one problem pump, then it's easier to remove it from the drawlist of your view.
if you have much pumps, then go this way:
1) drawlist of your view must contain all items.
for example:
/PIPE ADD
/STRUCTURAL ADD
/EQUIP ADD
2) your section (VSEC element under the view) has a link to a drawlist. by default it references to a view's drawlist, but you need to create another drawlist.
if this new drawlist has a /PUMP-5 REMOVE then you section will not cut this pump.
if /EQUIP REM, then all equimpent will be on the drawing anyway.
so the drawlist of VSEC is like a mirror of the View's drawlist.
