section viewports and fills

could someone please help me figure out fills? i would like to have the wall styles show up in the section viewport ie. concrete fill in the foundation wall, but not in the plan views. it must be simple, i know. but i've played with class settings and wall style settings with no joy. but i have fluked onto it in the past. how is this done?

Section viewports generate their own 'Section Style' class. Go to classes and then change the fill style. This should be independent of any fill style you have applied to the plan (as another viewport)..is this answering the question?

thanks, but no. then any element that was cut by the section plane would assume the fill. but i did figure out something for walls at least. when creating a wall style there must be components. you cant just add a fill to a simple wall. then select "hide wall components when scale <=1:" so my simple foundation wall was 8" then created an 8"component in that wall with the fill. in plan the fill doesn't show, but in section views, if i check "show wall components" in the OIP then bob's your uncle.

Try the advanced properties button on the info pallet, under attribues you can select a number of setting, I quite often use "use attributes of origional objects"
