I have set my background color as blue, and all pens to white, so my plan displays as an old-style blueprint. Other than taking multiple screenshots and stitching them together, is there a way to Save/Export into, say, PNG/TIFF/JPG/PDF etc, from the plan view (i.e. not from the 3D window)?

If you want export directly from ARchicad, I would create a layout template where I would draw blue fill and then place drawing on the layout with thes template.
From Layout you can export raster format as well but the resolution is pain to set correctly (you have to zoom in to maximum)
Or you can export eg. PDF and use 3rd party software for post production (i'm using Affinity - its free)

Thanks, Karel. Adding the blue fill to the layout and placing the drawing on it is brilliant - I am so jealous it wasn't my idea ; )

I'm coming back to this to tweak, if possible, some issues.
Before I apply the graphic overrides, the plan view shows correctly like this:
After I apply the graphic overrides, though, the slab shows through the length of wall where the window is, on the inside of the window (marked up in the red rectangle):
I have fiddled to no end with all the options I have thought of: cover fills/cut fills in the GO rules; in the cover/cut fills in the window and wall settings.
Any ideas as to what I am missing?
EDIT: I have un-marked Karel's reply as 'solution', just till we figure the issue out (just in case it affects visibility in the forum when it's marked as 'solved').

I have sorted this one. Has to do with which type fills are selected in the GO rule.
