Certain objects will not hide. Very confused

I have drawn solid objects that are only 1/16" in thickness. When I do a hide or plot the drawing you can still see the objects behind. My view port is set to hidden. When I have objects with a large thickness ie. 1" thick, objects behind are hidden.

I'm pretty sure I posted this in the wrong section initially so sorry for that. I've also tried to use the search function to see if my problem has been answered but it says I don't have permission to view the threads when I click on them. Not sure what's happening there. Anyway, on to my question

I'm not really sure why the object isn't hiding. It's pretty frustrating.

First, please make sure that the trouble-maker entity is in act a solid or you didn't accidentally exploded it - select it and call the LIST command. Second, should validate the current viewpoint; it may be that you are looking to that solid from the wrong angle.

It may help if you will attach the drawing here for further investigation - just strip-out the non-relevant content.

I would have to agree with MSasu - issue the list command to see what you are actually dealing with. Be aware that a "solid" object is not the same as a "solid body" object and is typically not useful for 3D work (an arrowhead is a solid). You want to be using a solid body.
