Cut Plane Display Range
A cut plane is set to a specific height, for example, 1.4 meters. Objects above or below that level are by default not
displayed in a Plan view. You can, however, define a display range above and below the cut plane. Object components
inside that range are displayed too. This would be useful if you want to display a window that lies above or below the
cut plane but that should be included in the display.

You also use a display range to define clipped views, such as the model view of a second floor. In that case, the display
range defines which levels to display and which levels to hide.

Cut Planes and Levels
Levels are represented separately by one or more files and are assembled in a view or plotting sheet to represent the
entire building.
You set the cut plane individually for each level of a building. You create a drawing file—a construct or a view—that
represents the level, and assign a cut plane to a display configuration within the drawing.
The following images illustrate a curtain wall that spans three levels. The images on the left indicate the cut plane for
the associated level drawing. The plans to the right show how the curtain wall would be displayed in Plan view at each
level. Notice the different appearance of the doors and mullions on the various floor plans.
