Crazy that ArchiCAD does not even know what an RCP is. They are basically plans but look up… nothing more or less. Or to put it another way... they are REFLECTED CEILING PLANS.

While I respect your opinion that an RCP is a plan cut above the ceiling looking down… I have never heard that definition. In our office (for the past 50 years), we follow the definition that an RCP is what you would see if you cut the room horizontally and had the ceiling reflected on the floor plan, like it was a giant mirror. You are going to see the soffits, roofs, beams, lights, etc. Handrails, cabinets and other items related to the floor would not show.

If you use the 3d cutaway tool and cut from the bottom and look up, that is what you would see. See the attached that I generated this way. Of course, it needs to be flipped/mirrored, so it is the same orientation of the plan.
