Showing the outline of cabinetry below countertop

Has anyone found a good way to show the outline of base cabinets below a countertop without showing the entire cabinet?

Make countertop transparency and then tick box - look picture. Then countertop is visible and units are shown below. Maybe they are not with dashed lines. I use this setting for glass doors and then I see as real result will be.

Thanks for the tip, I hadn't used that option before. It still doesn't display the cabinets the way I am looking for but I am sure that I will be using that with glass door cabinets, ect. in the future. I ended up using the curves function in CAD to draw the outline of the boxes and then inserting it into the view. Here is an image of the draft:

Draw a curve at the outline (you can do it in your component) and insert this in your main assembly.
You can also set those extra lines (special curves) on a certain layer, so you can filter them out if necessary.
