3 Select an object.

Properties .
5 Under Object Display Properties, configure settings for the current configuration as follows:
a Select Yes for Above level override, and then specify a value for Above range.
b Select Yes for Cut height override, and then specify a value for Cut height.
c Select Yes for Below level override, and then specify a value for Below range.
BEST PRACTICE Some objects spanning multiple cut planes might include a Rise/Drop symbol on
an elevation-based display component that is turned off, causing the object to be hidden. In those
cases, you can override the cut plane for that particular object so that it appears in the drawing area.
To apply cut plane overrides in the Display Manager
1 Select Enable Display by Elevation in the Options dialog.
2 Click Manage tab
➤
Style & Display panel
➤
Display Manager .
3 Expand the Configurations folder.
4 Select a display configuration from the list.
5 Click the Cut Plane tab in the right pane.
6 Apply the desired override for the display configurations that use this display representation.
then... If you want to...
enter a value for Display Above Range. define the visible range above the cut plane
enter a value for Cut Height. define the cut plane height
enter a value for Display Below Range. define the visible range below the cut plane
The values you enter for the Above and Below ranges are not relative to the cut height. They
are absolute height values calculated from the WCS origin. Therefore, the value that you enter
for Display Above Range must be greater than the value that you enter for Cut Height. Invalid
values will produce incorrect results.
NOTE The Calculate button on the Cut Plane tab is only available if you selected a project using
Project Navigator and the current drawing is multi-story. It opens a Cut Plane dialog that you use to
set the cut plane height for objects at a specific level. For more information, see Levels in the AutoCAD
Architecture Help.
