I'd appreciate some help on how to created a reflected ceiling plan of a sloping soffit. I've not done any RCP's in Archicad yet and what I would also like to generate are plans of the sloping soffit looking square on in order to create cutting layouts.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

You can set up this view just like a section or elevation and should be able to add dimensions to it.

I created the 3D document from the view (first image) and tested the dimensions. I just had some queries about the dimensions and how to obtain one along the splay (second image) as it seems to constrain it to either 90 degrees or an odd angle?

Or explode the whole view to 2D fills.

In the 3D Document there is an additional dimensioning option for plane constraint, in the Help files see: Linear Dimensions in the 3D Document Window.

Constraining dimensions to planes should be a big help thanks.
