Cannot see mesh part that cut by floor plan cut plane

Anonymous · ‎2019-01-16

I'm new in ArchiCAD so you should excuse my question. I've modeled sloped terrain and a slab. (MODEL_VIEW.jpg) In floor plan normally, i expect to see the part of mesh that cut by floor plan cut plane but i cannot. Mesh is in all projection (PLAN_VIEW.JPG). I wish to see plan as in EXPECTED.jpg (got it from 3D Cut-Away and 3D Document). Could you help me with that?

This is the expected behavior.
In ARCHICAD not all element types can react to their relative position to the Floor Plan Cut Plane. The Mesh is such an element, you will always see a symbolic representation of it in the Floor Plan Viewpoint and it will not be displayed differently even if the Floor Plan Cut Plane cuts into it.

GRAPHISOFT is slowly working toward making elements smarter in this regard, but it is not there yet fully.
