https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/cutting-planes-and-clean-up/m-p/109580#M57877 I think that is good advise. At least until I get more comfortable with the cutting plane options, or until it gets more user friendly for me.

When I get the wall and widow settings the walls wont clean up because of the settings I used to see the window above the cutting plane.<BR /> <BR /> <FONT color="#0024ff">What is the recommended setting for walls and windows using a cutting plane of 42"? </FONT> I have always used 42" as my imaginary cutting plane in working drawings. Anything above that in a floor plan is shown with long dash. Anything below that, but under a counter top or what ever is shown with short dash. For example, closet rod &amp; shelf, cabinets, soffits, etc...are long dash. The outline of my base cabinets is small dashed. The counter tops are solid line.<BR /> <BR /> The is an office standard that I am not interested in changing.<BR /> I would like to see ArchiCAD able to work better with this very common standard for imaginary cut plane with out being so confusing. <BR /> I like the ability to deviate very much, however, it seems a bit to complicated. <BR /> <BR /> My solution would be to have the vertical cut plan fully adjustable in a window similar to what we have for the 3D cutting planes.<BR /> <BR /> Perhaps I just need to find a combination of settings for my walls and windows that works for what I need most often and be able to remember how it was that I got those settings how I need them.<BR /> <BR /> Just my opinion, but I think the cutting plane thing is a bit to complicated as it is now. I love the idea of it, I just am having a hard time with it.<BR /> <BR /> Perhaps it will be a little different in version 11.</R></DIV> Fri, 26 May 2023 13:03:50 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/cutting-planes-and-clean-up/m-p/109578#M57875 Steve Jepson 2023-05-26T13:03:50Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/cutting-planes-and-clean-up/m-p/109579#M57876 Maybe you can take Jefferson's advice <A href="http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=72764" target="_blank">here</A>?<BR /> <BR /> Cheers,<BR /> Link.
