Different height for Floor Plan Cut Plane

Anonymous — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 15:59:53 GMT

I am very new to ArchiCAD (comming from autocad and Revit).

I would like to know how do you set different heights for the floor plan cut plane?

Did you think about looking at the Help file or the manual? Just look up 'Floor Plan Cut Plane'.

If you are asking how to have part of the same floor have one cut plane height and another part have a different height, that is not possible. Instead, you must create a different view for each required floor plan cut height and assemble those views into the desired drawing by stacking them on top of one another on a layout sheet.

Glad it worked. Yes, painful, especially if the differing cut heights are not on rectangular areas, so getting things cropped properly when stacking on the layout becomes harder.
