This thread http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=58323 has been very helpful with regards to cut plane and plan display issues for window families. I am aware that the height of the cut plane within the window family and within nested families will largely determine what the window will look like in plan - not the project cut plane.
However, we have a window family where the window head will hide the rest of the window (mullions, frames - everything below) no matter where I set the cut plane in the window family. The only way I can make the window show up correctly is by turning off the plan/RCP visibility for the head section of the frame. But that makes the vertical mullions disappear too because they are joined to the head. And we really need the frame & mullion pieces to be joined. Does anybody have any other idea how to fix this? The window looks fine if I turn the project view to wireframe.
FYI, the frame and mullion pieces are all nested face-based generic model families, which don't have a cut plane perpendicular to the long dimension of the mullion or frame piece. Maybe that's the problem?
Any insight appreciated.
