I'm trying to render an object in a plan view. To do so I created a default 3-D view and then used the view cube to orientate it to a plan view. The problem that I am having is that the object is always obscured by the ceiling and light fixtures. I can hide the ceiling in this view, but if I hide the light fixtures, then there is no light to illuminate the view. I tried moving the ceiling and light fixtures to an elevation above that of the camera, but for some odd reason the camera still sees them!? How can this be?
