Help - Cut plan issue

On the attached drawing I have doors at two levels one at grade and one @ 36'6" With the cut line set at 3'6" everything shows correct except I have  a cut out in my wall for the high door. When I change my cut plane tp 40'-0" the upper door shows and everything below shows correct. How can I get this wall cutout for my high door out of the lower cut plan?

 

thanks Byron

In the properties of the wall, under the 'display' tab you can override the cut plane of an individual wall to whatever is required. You can also get to this by selecting the wall and from the right-click menu 'edit object display'.

Does True cut do it?

I've always struggled along with the various settings as well.

TC might work with some other settings turned off as well.

In the display manager this configuration has its cut plane set to 40 feet. If you set it to 3'6" or there abouts you might have more luck.

Got to work with true cut. I have attached the drawing. Change the cut plane from 3'6" to 40' and back and you will see the walls change as I need them to.

 

Thanks to everyones input
