to a drawing, so you can have, for example, one cut plane height for a regular
plan view and another cut plane height for a Reflected view.
The global cut plane is used on all objects that do not have an object-specific
cut plane override. For more information, see Object-Specific Cut Planes on
page 545.
Global Cut Plane Display Range
When you set a cut plane for a display configuration, you also set a display
range above and below the cut plane. This is the range in which objects, even
when they do not intersect the cut plane, are displayed. For example, if you
set the cut plane to 1.4 meters and define the visible range above the cut plane
at 2 meters and the visible range below the cut plane at 1 meter, then your
objects are cut at 1.4 meters. Objects that lie between 1.4 meters and 2 meters
as well as objects that lie between 1.4 meters and 1 meter are also displayed,
but with different display for above and below the cut plane. Objects that lie
outside the range—for example, a window that is inserted at 0.8 meter—are
not displayed at all.
NOTE The values for the display range are calculated relative to the WCS, not
relative to the global cut plane height.
Plan view of window cut planes
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.
