Model View Options in 3D document (Floor Plan or RCP)

So we are starting to explore using the 3D document in more of our production documentation but found a little issue with the 3D document; it doesn't recognize all the possible modification options in the Model View Options. We are trying to hide the window frames and the model view options will allow you to adjust everything else but how the windows, doors, and skylights function as they relate to the plan.

Did you try "Show Opening Only " ? That should hide your window frames and door jambs.

I did. It doesn't work. I was showing an extreme example as reference.

Sorry to hear that. I works fine for me.

But not when you create a "New 3D Document from Plan".
The Model View Options for doors and windows have no effect on the 3D document.
"Filtering Elements" in 3D (i.e. turning off doors and windows) will affect a normal 3D Document saved from the 3D window but not one created from the floor plan.

I can't seem to hide the frames in a 3D document created from the floor plan either.

I apologize. I did not read the original post correctly.

Has anyone figured out a way around this?
Generating reflected ceiling plans from the 3D document tool is incredibly useful, but I can't figure out how to have doors just show as empty openings...

I don't know any way.
I will report this as a bug especially as there is a check box that says it can redefine the storey content based on current floor plan.

As a workaround for FCP I have a pen set that "prints" windows and doors as white.
