This is not directly possible in ArchiCAD... 2D entities = 2D-only, so not visible in the 3D Window.

I remember that there was a trick to fake it, but it must be buried deep inside the ArchiCAD-Talk dungeons.

You can save your plan as a DWG-drawing and bring it back into ArchiCAD as an object. The plan will then be visible in 3D.

I think he meant that there was a workaround to do so in Archicad (sometimes known as "faking it"), not that the image was fake.

Thank you, Stig! I admit I didn't know this trick!
This deserves a beer! A lot of beers!

Tried to do it in AC9 - no success!
It is mentioned in "What's new in AC!"?

Thanks for the beer, kliment!

It has been possible to bring in a 2D DWG-drawing into 3D as an object as long as I can remember.

Quite so ...

Open the DWG as an object. Then it is visible in 3D. Since always ...
