Displaying doors in plan view

[Kerstin_K]

I have a wall that spans two storeys. It has high doors with transom and sidelights. It's good that it shows the openings on my first floor plan but I don't want to see the door opening swing arcs. That is confusing. Is it possible to show the opening arcs only on my ground floor plan?

Operating system used: Windows

Hi, 

You can edit the floor plan display of that wall to "cut only". 

Also, you can select the 1st floor plan view, you can go to Document - Floor plan cut plane and see how much you are telling Archicad to "see" under your chosen level. That might also be a factor.

If the wall is cut only, it still shows the opening arcs on my 1st floor.

Floor plan cut plane - It only shows the current story elements, nothing under the level.

If I change my door to a projected door. Then the 1st floor plan view is good, but it doesn't show opening arcs on my ground floor plan.

Seems like you can't turn the door swings off, no matter what. So how about you use a GO for the second floor to display the door swings below in hidden lines and put a note to the effect "Swing doors below"
Or have the GO set the door swings line pen to white, so they won't print?

It will affect all the doors on the second floor, so maybe you assign unique ID numbers to those doors (they look similar anyway), and have the GO apply only to them

my 2 cents:)

The symbol is generated by a script. There generally is no script for the transom.

You could stack a door and a window to fix your floorplan, but your window/door schedule will not look correct.

Another option is to go the projected route and add the opening lines manually, or mask off the higher story and cover it with a 2D linework / fill 'patch'.

Thank you! At the moment adding 2D opening lines seems to be the simplest.
