hey hive mind!i would like to have a proper display of a 2D section in ACA 2016, and i googled and tried a lot, but nothing works. The section should look like the floorplan. right now, i use the 2D section and elevation as helping tool and draw on top of if to have a propper section. but i can't imagine, i'm the first person who wants the same display in floorplans and sections?! below are two images of the current situation. i set the automated section and elevation on "by layer" because the setting "by material" doesn't work.i would be very grateful, if anybody has a solution.greets, Kefi

i can see your point ... i cleaned out the file and stuff ...https://we.tl/t-9a7if6aP43

Hi,Your 3D model is containing AEC PROXY OBJECTS.The model is probably created in an other modeling program. If you select the objects for (as example) substract the following notification pops up:Select objects:No solids, surfaces, or regions selectedTherefore commands as "sectionplane" won't work.I know this is no solution to your problem but at least you now what the problem is.I added a example drawing if you move the left magenta section plane you can see what should happen if you have the correct objects like solids.uploads/39979/section_plane_example.zip

thx for your reply!i am working with walls and windows and all the other tools from Autocad architecture 2016 and build the house from scratch. you opend it probably with the normal ACAD and don't have the wall elements and co?

True i use acad 2018 so i don't have the acad arch. extra's.so unfortunately i can not help you with this topic.Good Luck
