    Try the delete surface tool and click on the glass. The shelves should be visible at this point. Then you can send the view to layout. Problem solved.


    The only drawback is...if you open the viewport up again, the darn glass is back.

    If you find yourself having to open and close the viewport...and repeating this process, a Cad detail might be better saved in the layout page rather than the actual view.

    I'll give that a shot.

    I have been doing the CAD detail for the past few times...it works fine...it's just a bit of a pain to keep having to do it each time I want to see the shelves. But oh well...

    A more consistent and repeatable solution would be to use a custom cabinet door (.SKP sample attached, import as a Cabinet Door/Drawer but you'll need to get your stretch planes working properly for different sized cabinets- check out the ones that Chief provides) that has no surfaces at all in the panel.

    This gets you want you want in your elevations, but won't give you what you want in a render view or raytrace.
