sectional views in Rendering studio

Greetings
I tried to make a sectional view of an assembly in a rendering studio but all of the parts are hollow instead of solid. I dropped the appearance I wanted onto the full part folder in the scene list and it applies it to all of the visual surfaces but not the interior.
Advice welcome.

You need to enable "Caps" in the section view dialog.
A few notes when using this.
Caps use a fixed diffuse appearance of the specified colour (you can have one colour for all caps, the default, or change per cap). You cannot use a specific appearance on the caps.
If your geometry sits on the ground and you have the ground turned on then you'll want to adjust the ground height a little or the model height a little so they are not perfectly aligned since this will interfere with the section plane.
Coplanar geometry will confuse the capping mechanism and potentially make it looks like you can see into the model still. In those case very slightly overlapping the geometry will usually fix the problem (you can apply transforms in Render Studio so that you don't need to change the Part Studio or Assembly.
