Hello everyone,
Please help! I'm trying to make a rooftop plan. I want to hide some of the yellow lines that represent Basement walls - the one surrounding the pool should stay but the other one that is below a slab should be hidden.
How to make that happen ? If I set the RELATIVE FLOOR PLAN RANGE to 0 stories below , it will hide all of the basement walls and the pool will not have outlines.
I thought of using a slab white fill in order to work around this. Any other , better ideas ?

Don't be afraid to use different layers that you can turn on and off with layer combinations associated to your views.

Hi @Hammallu,
* This solution will work only if your walls in upper story (not the basement) are straight (Basic or Composite), so it doesn’t work with slanted or complex profiled walls.
1) In the upper floor set all your walls’ floor plan display to Symbolic Cut.
2) In the basement floor set the walls you want to show in the upper floor to be shown in All Relevant Stories.
3) In the view map adjust the upper floor view settings - Document Floor Plan Cut Plane as follows:
** This (-1.50) value is only for illustration purposes & you should change until suits your case (Until cuts your basement’s walls).
*** I don’t know if this solution have any side effects on the whole output process so if there’re any please guide me.

Hi Mahmoud, many thanks for your help.
The only thing that's bothering me with this method is that when setting up the cut plane to be -1500mm would make the windows not visible on plan, so I have to thing of another way of sorting this out.
I'll test it out and see if it works.

Hi Barry,
I don't know how I didn't think of it, sometimes the most obvious of all the solutions slips off.
Much obliged!

Remember that you can decrease or increase that minus value until it cuts windows.
All windows & doors will be shown correctly.
