Floor plan of a much lower structure doesn't appear

pablito_maravilloso — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 09:57:34 GMT

Hi all, I'm having a hard time showing the floor plan of the proposed shed on the plan view. I reckon it's because the cutting plane isn't hitting the walls. The problem is that it is 3 metres below the rest of the stuff (swimming pool decking & existing house). I wanna be able to show everything on a single plan.

How do I resolve this? Thanks in advance

Operating system used: Windows

What is the 'Floor Plan Display' set to for the elements making up the shed?

Try setting them to 'Symbolic Cut', then they will always show regardless of the height in relation to the cutting plane.

They're really just walls and a roller door. Symbolic cut is greyed out:

You must be using a complex profile wall, they can not be symbolic.

It look quite simple, any reason you can't use a composite wall?

Isn't this just a composite wall? Thank you btw for your insights

It will be becuase its set to 'All relevent stories", needs to be 'Home storey only" to use Symbolic cut.

Thank you both!

It was indeed because it was on All Relevant Stories". I was able to select Symbolic cut after opting Home Story only. Cheers!
