How can I cut an object in a floorplan?

[Anonymous]

Hi, I am working on a project where I am using shipping-containers as building parts. I do have very detailed 3d-models of the shipping-containers and want to use them also in my floorplans of the building. When I see the floorplan of the groundfloor, which cuts the shipping-container, I still see only the upperside of the container; the floorplan cuts the walls, doors etc. but not the container.
Is is possible to change this and to see the actual inside of the container?

Thanks for answering!

If you want the container walls to behave in ArchiCAD as walls, then make a container wall. Same goes for all of the parts of the container. Make geometrically correct floors, ceilings, walls, corners, doors, hardware, etc...

Perhaps your real question is how do I make a container wall in ArchiCAD ?
Perhaps you would like to have an ArchiCAD modeled container to work with?

This may be a bit late now, but MasterScript made a shipping container object a while ago which had cut plane sensitivity and full parametric adjustability -
