Summary: Ability to project families that are located above the cut plan onto the cut plane for reference
Description: I often have to move families that are located above the cut plane down to the cut plane in order to draw dashed detail lines around them then move them back to the intended location. Examples of elements that this may occur with are attic access openings, HVAC equipment, Hot Water Heaters mounted above the ceiling, skylights etc. This works but is not associative, so if the original family moves the projected detail lines must be adjusted. Revit does a great job of "literally" modeling the project, but sometimes it is necessary to bend reality and project an element onto the floor plan just for reference. Creating an option for projecting an outline of a family onto another work plane other than the one it is inserted upon would be a time saver.
