Window cuts in elevation but not plan

I updated an existing window family. After reconstructing it how I wanted it to look I noticed that part of window did not cut in the plan view but cuts in elevation and 3D views. I am attaching the family. The family is a mess as it was one that someone downloaded from a third party site. I just did some minor updates instead of creating new.

 

Thank you in advance

Change the View Range to 2'-0". That part of the window is above the cut plane

The other alternative is to create a Plan Region

View>>Plan Views>>Plan Region

You will be prompted to sketch. Sketch a rectangle around the window. You will also get a prompt to change the View Range - change that to 2'-0". This will give the window a lower cut plane while the rest of your plan displays correctly with a 4'-0" cut plane.

- Edit the View range in the Family and change the Cut Plane to 5'-0".  That will show the full window (but not necessary the opening) in project if it is cut at any point.

- If you want to show the full opening in project, change the View cut plane or add a Plan region to cut at 5'-0".

 

Revised family attached.
