Similar tool to "Plan Region" but in 3D VIew?

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone!

I wonder if there's a tool similar to "Plan Region" but in 3D View mode? I want to render a 3D view oriented to a Floor Plan, but by using the Section Box I end up cutting elements that I don't want to be cut. Specifically, I need to show simultaneously the door openings and the top of a cabinet, but the cabinet is taller that the door openings. So either I show the doors and the sliced cabinet, which I'm trying to avoid, or the top of the cabinet and no door opening, which I can't. Any suggestions?

Many thanks in advance!

Use Explode tool to temporarily shift objects away. It is way more powerful than Plan Region.

What's the "Explode tool"?  You mean the Displace Elements tool? 

[ToanDN]

Is is what it called?

Displaced views (a.k.a. Exploded views)...

Good idea @ToanDN.

You can try two views and then

combine them...this will give you enough flexibility to modify and control graphics the way you need.

( Note: you can combine two views , align them only on SHEET )

Cheers!

Perhaps you could create a panel inside the cabinet family to close off the top of the cabinet in your 3D Plan View--and use visibility parameters to turn the panel on/off in other views.

This way you can show the doors, and have the cabinet closed off in the 3D Plan View.
