Creating a section of internal components of a Creo assembly causes the initial section to disappear.
I have a Creo 3d assembly model in which I want to create a section thru some internal components. I have a cross section thru the entire assembly. When I activate that cross section and go to create a new cross section referencing one of the internal parts, the original main cross section is undone and I can't see inside.
PTC tells me this is normal functionality.

On the drawing you can add local sections to a section view, but in the assembly it deals with one at a time. You can place the components that obstruct the view on a layer and then blank that layer in order to ease making the new internal-part section. I think it can be done with a simplified rep, but I don't recall if it results in the section depending on the simplified rep in some way.
