RCP

[clauds1223]

I would like to know how to configure the cut plane/ view for a reflected ceiling plan. I know you can create a reflected ceiling plan via the "new 3D document from floor plan tool"but I don't want th edrawing to be 3D, I want it to be able to show surface fills on the floor slab for example so I need it to be a 2D RCP. How can I alter the cut plane in the ground floor plan to show the ceiling above?

Thanks

document > floor plan cut plane. but the fills of your slabs/roofs in plan view are only going to show the top surface fill.

I always use a combination of 3d doc (all model elements above the cut plane) and floor plan (walls and all elements below cut plan). Create a graphic override for the floor plan view to override plumbing, casework, furniture to show transparent fills, light gray pens, and dashed lines. I place ceiling fixtures in plan, not 3d doc, so they show with their plan symbol, as well as coordinate to 3d, int elev., etc.

There are several methods to get RCP. Check out the e-book Reflected Ceiling Plans - Workflow Guide, it is available for free with your SSA customer code on the Graphisoft Learn website.
