11 Define the display of the clipped model view:
Then… If you want to…
select Section AEC Objects by Display Range defined in
Display Configuration. display the objects in the display range defined in step 7 with
their regular display settings, and the objects outside of the
display range as Sectioned Body
select Show Materials where Display Range Intersects AEC
Objects. show a section hatch and a section boundary where spanning
objects are cut by the display range
select Hide Sectioned Body Component. hide all parts of spanning objects outside of the display range
select Hide Surface Hatching. suppress the surface hatch of objects within the display range
12 Click OK.
Object-Specific Cut Planes
Many objects in AutoCAD Architecture have individual settings for cut planes that can override the global cut plane
setting. Object-specific cut planes are useful when you have objects of different heights in your Plan view. This happens
frequently when you are working with a split-level floor plan or a sunken room.
An object-specific cut plane takes precedence over the global cut plane in the display configuration.
For more information on the global cut plane, see “ Global Cut Planes ” on page 310.
Object-Specific Cut Plane Overrides
The following objects can have an object-specific cut plane:
■
Curtain Walls
■
Curtain Wall Units
■
Door/Window Assembly
■
Mass Elements
■
Roof Slabs
■
Slabs
■
Stairs
■
Walls
Example: Overriding the Cut Plane for a Wall
The object-specific cut plane is a part of the display properties of an object. You can set it for an individual object, an
object style, or as the system default.
For detailed information on display properties, see “ Display Representations ” on page 451 and “ Creating a Display
Representation for an Object ” on page 466.
TIP If you want to create a clipped model view, as described in “ Using the Global Cut Plane: Creating a Clipped Model
View ” on page 313 , or want to display the cut plane of a different level, as described in “ Using the Global Cut Plane:
Displaying the Cut Plane of a Different Level ” on page 312 , make sure to turn off the object specific-cut plane of the included
objects. The object-specific cut plane overrides the global cut plane, and so you might get unexpected display results.
The following example demonstrates how to set an object-specific cut plane for a wall style. The detailed steps for other
objects may vary slightly. For more information, see the individual object chapters.
1 Click Format menu
➤
Style Manager.
2 Expand Architectural Objects, and then expand Wall Styles.
3 Select the wall style for which you want to set an individual cut plane, and click the Display Properties tab.
4 Select a Plan or Reflected display representation.
