To Set the Object Cut Plane of a Space Style

Use this procedure to set the object cut plane of a space style.

The object cut plane of a space is used to display the space in Plan views at a defined cut height. It is unrelated to the calculation cut planes you can set for 3D freeform spaces. The object cut plane cannot, for example, be used in scheduling properties or in a space calculation. In most cases the cut plane of a space is determined by the cut plane of the display configuration of the current view. You can set up a different cut plane for individual spaces, if necessary.

  1. Click Manage tabStyle & Display panelStyle Manager.
  2. Expand Architectural Objects, and expand Space Styles.
  3. Select the space style that you want to change.
  4. Click the Display Properties tab.
  5. Select the display representation where you want the changes to appear, and click Style Override.

    The display representation in bold is the current display representation.

  6. Click the Other tab.
  7. To use the cut plane defined in the display configuration, verify that Override Display Configuration Cut Plane is cleared.
  8. To define a cut plane differing from the cut plane of the display configuration, select Override Display Configuration Cut Plane, and enter the desired height for Cut Plane Height.
  9. Click OK.
