Slabs not showing up as cut elements

I can't get slabs to show cut fill or cut lines in plan view, altering the floor plan cut plane seems to have no effect. any advice?

slabs are not a 'cutable' floor plan element - they only cut in section. you can only define an outline and cover fill for them. (a cover fill could be used as a workaround . . . unless you are using their cover fill for its true purpose).

alternatively you could use a roof element at 0º . . they can be 'cut' by the floor plan cut plane.

(why would you want to cut your slabs in plan?!)

I was using the slab tool to make custom window frames - is this unacceptable? is there a better way
