Morph hotlinked but it isn't cutting through it

Hi there,

Is there a way to hotlink an ifc model and then in plan, have it being cut through at the correct level?

Thanks.,

Operating system used: Windows 11

When you say "cut through", do you mean cut correctly by the Floor Plan Cut Plane and display its cut and projected geometry based on that?

Yes.

Your post is a bit ambiguous because its title says "Morph" while the text says IFC.

So, if you have a Morph in an Archicad file and you hotlink that, its floor Plan Display should behave the same as in a normal, non-hotlinked file.

If you hotlink an IFC file, I am afraid there is not much you can do to control its floor plan display. When the IFC is imported some elements will be converted to native Archicad elements, and many elements will be converted to either Morphs or Objects, depending on IFC Translator settings.

Can you show a concrete example of how it is displayed now and show an image of how you would like it to be displayed?
