Creating a reflected ceiling plan step by step

Anonymous

Hi everyone,
I have to create my first ever reflected ceiling plan using AC13, and I cannot figure out how to do it.

I tried to find old discussions about it, but I only found discussions about how to improve one. Where do I start?

Thanks!

For a RCP you are not looking up the concept refers to look down a see the reflection of the ceiling on the floor thus the reflected part.

Imagine that you are looking down into a mirror were you see the ceiling and you should get the idea.

You define a RCP by using layer combinations and MVOs.

Which Model View Options (MVO) can be suitable for RCP?

Basically the way door and windows are represented in RFC are different than in plan and it depends on local drawing conventions. You should get a copy of the RFC drawing from another project so that you can use the same drawing convention in yours.
