i have a gable wall for a shed dormer that has been trimmed to the roof below but it still shows it obscuring the window below (see attached) i've tried changing the view order, all floor plan display options. the cut plane is set to 4'

One option is to Split the wall at the perpendicular wall, and place the obscuring part of the wall on a layer for 3D elements (hidden in the arch plan view).

I use these windows https://bimcomponents.com/GSM/Details/7436 to make the hole that is needed and set floorplan display to projected instead of symbolic. This creates a proper floorplan display of the wall.

Thanks, i'll try the separate layers. it also solves another issue with walls that i've been having.
