How can I make a window or door visible in elevation and hidden in plans? I can do it only by adding a fill in plans over the window/door to hide it, but is there a better way to do it by any settings?

You can set your wall and window to 'Projected' or 'Projected with Overhead' floor plan display settings.
Then adjust your Floor Plan Cutting Plane so it is either completely above of completely below your window.
Play around with a mixture of these combinations as you will get slightly different results depending on what they are.
For example if the window is 'Projected' only and it is above the cutting plane you won't be able to select it at all in plan as it will just not be there.
However if it is below the cutting plan and you know where it is, you can still select it but the corner nodes.
But be aware adjusting the Floor Plan Cutting Plane may affect how other elements appear.

You could control the visibility of it using a custom renovation filter. You can select the window and tell it to only show on a particular filter which is associated to your elevations view.

Hi,
Or you can set the 2D Detail Level of the window to "Without"

Hi Barry, yes I set wall and window to 'Projected with Overhead' floor plan display settings and now the window is not showing in the plans exactly as I wanted. Thanks very much.

There is a setting to hide windows and doors in floor plan in the Model View Options. Much easier than changing the settings of the doors and floor plan cut plane.

But this will hide ALL doors and windows, not just specific ones.
