My wish, along with others I work with, is to have an easier way to decide where the cut plane is when dealing with different header heights. Our company has both Arch & Structurals design in house, and we have developed our own display props for both sides. Ofcourse the structural side doesn't want to see that acutual doors/windows. Now the problem we are having is that some windows/doors don't fall on the same cut plan. The is especially true when dealing with bi-levels and tri-levels where the windows cut through both concrete and studs. We are currently working in 3.3 and are ready to upgrade. I have talked with Jared Schultz (an CAD-1 instructor/Autodesk trainer) and foundout that in later versions you are able to use entity display props to change the specific window/door's cutplane. Well, I was hoping to switch to a front/right/back/left view and draw a polyline and be able to select that polyline and set it as the cut plane for that wall/s. It wouldn't take quite as much time as going through and chaging each window/door.
