I'm using Revit Architecture 2008 and having trouble getting the reflected ceiling plans to show how I want them to.  I can get doors to show up by changing my cut plane to 7'-0", my trouble is I want to cut through the windows that are above the door and still see the door swing below.  I have a strip of windows along an entire wall of offices that are from 7'-0" AFF to the ceiling at 9'-8" AFF.  My cut plane should be set to cut through those windows and when I do that I can no longer see my door swings below.  Any chance something can be done about this?

with View / Plan region

you can set the cut height lower on a chosen region

You can do an overlay of the first floor on a first floor ceiling plan, then you'll need to turn off the stuff you don;t want to see (furniture, fixtures, etc).  But you will then have the door swing.  Not sure if that is the best way, but it will work.  HTH

Plan region would require a plan region at every door, though.  Also, the plan region would override the window and it would no longer be visible.....
