Floor Plan-Based 3D Document

With a single click, create a 3D Document based on the Floor Plan: a section view, based on a horizontal cut plane in the Floor Plan window. Define the projection by setting a cut plane height and the projection direction either upwards (toward the ceiling) or downwards (to the floor). This type of 3D Document shows the cut part of the model, including sections of vertical structures (e.g. walls, openings). Interface and settings are based on the 3D Document.

This is useful, for example, to display the load-bearing structures on a slab plan, or as a reflected ceiling plan. Use it also to create shaded Floor Plan views for presentation/interior design.
