cutting wall with morph not visible in plan.

I made an opening in a wall using morph with solid element operation. Its not visible in any plan.

One opening is visible in section and the other partially!!

I've put the morph layer off in all views. 

What's wrong?

how to make the opening visible?

What you've found is just how it works, unfortunately.  The plan view in Archicad is not a projection of the 3D view (in spite of the Floor Plan Cut plane being related to a projection).  No Solid Element Operations of any kind (Morph or other) are ever visible in plan.  This is a (very) long standing wish for the floor plan to reflect solid element operations, trims and more ... to become a true 2D projection, with symbolic info included.

 

In your case, the openings that you show look like the normal splayed opening library parts in the library accessible with the Window tool.  Those, being windows and not the result of solid element ops, will show properly in plan view.  Hope that helps.

 

You will have to adjust various parameters of the opening objects to get the result that you show in your screenshot.
