Cutting Plane over a staircase doesn't show the right elements

VenB — Wed, 13 Feb 2019 09:33:31 GMT

Hello. Can anyone give an advice, please.

Please look at the attached image.

I’ve set the cutting plane where I want it, but I am wondering why the window on the wall is seen when there is no window trough my cutting plane?

You can see selected the stair and the place of the cutting and there is no window against that surface…

hello, you didn't show your section line direction? but i think you need to adjust far clip offset value. thanks

Its a plan cutting plane- not a section!! Please see the selected stair on plan and the selected stair on 3D view. I am asking about the plan cutting plane that shows the window but it's set lower than the window. Thank you.

Hello, adjust your view range or make a plan region adjust view range. Thanks

Hello. It's adjusted- it is clearly seen where the cutting plane cuts through the left riser of the stair- the question is why the window is seen when in plan you see everything under the cut plane- not over it. You can't set the view range to watch upside the plan, so that's the strange thing. Thank you

The following component family categories will appear in the view even when above the cut plane:

Casework
Generic Model
Structural Columns
Windows

Edit the window family, select the geometry or linework presenting the plan, edit Visibility/Graphic Overrides and tick the box "Show only when Cut on plan".
