To Specify the Cut Plane Display of a Mass Element

Use this procedure to specify the properties of one or more cut planes for a mass element. Cut plane display properties apply only to display representations, such as Plan, that are used in the Top view (plan view) of a drawing.

1. Double-click the mass element you want to change.
2. On the Properties palette, click the Display tab.
3. Under the General category, for Display component, verify that *NONE* is selected.
4. For Display controlled by, select This object.
   Note: To apply your changes to all mass elements in the drawing, select Drawing default setting. To apply changes to all mass elements of this style, select Mass Element Style:<style name>.
5. If necessary, expand Object Display Properties Cut Plane.
6. For Override cut plane, specify whether you want to override the global cut plane defined for the current display configuration.
7. If you selected Yes for Override cut plane, enter a value for Height to define the cut plane for this object. (Alternatively, you can click and specify 2 points in the drawing area to set the new size.)

You can also access and modify these same cut plane settings through the mass element’s context menu, as follows

1. Select the mass element, right-click, and click Edit Object Display.
2. In the Object Display dialog box, click the Display Properties tab.
3. Select the display representation where you want the changes to appear, and select Object Override.

   The display representation in bold is the current display representation.

4. If necessary, click .
5. In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Other tab, and then change the settings as needed.
6. Click OK twice.
