Specifying the Cut Plane Display of a Wall Style
Use this procedure to specify the properties of one or more cut planes for a wall style. Cut plane display properties
apply only to display representations, such as Plan, that are used in the Top view (plan view) of a drawing.
To better visualize the elements of a wall in plan view, you can create cut planes. The main cut plane is where the
shrinkwrap and hatching are applied. The plan display shows the components and objects in the wall as they are
displayed at the height of each cut plane.
The cut plane settings you specify in the wall style override the cut plane settings in any display configuration applied
to a viewport. When you add doors, windows, openings, or door/window assemblies to a wall, you can specify in the
display properties of those objects or their styles whether they respect the cut plane of the wall or of the display
configuration.

2 Right-click a wall tool, and click Wall Styles.
3 Select the wall style that you want to change.

for Cut Plane Height.
