Hi Hal,

SEOs don't display on plan I'm afraid. Have you tried placing an empty opening using the door or window tool instead of an SEO? This should be visible on plan, and display properly with the sloping wall. What is the hole representing in reality?

Yes, a GDL object can be made to display on plan exactly what is visible in 3d. A 'project2' or 'project2{2}' command in the 2d script will automatically give an accurate 2d view.
