I'm trying to show the overall topography of my site plan in relation to the ground floor. The problem is, based on the grade, is that the site is being cut at the level of the plan as well (as I would expect). But is there a way to not cut through the site while still cutting through the ground floor plan? Thanks!

I take it that your site extends above ground floor.

 

You clould use an upper level plan then add a plan region around your building and cut that at your gound level.  It would not be your ground level plan as far a any 2D annotations are concerned.

I haven't got back to this in a while, but thanks for the reply. The plan region works okay. It's not great. It's too bad it cant make curves since I have a radial building.

alternatively, you could put a little/simple plan region out in the topo, instead of a big plan region that covers your building.  A plan region only needs to touch a little bit of an object for all of that object to show, (sometimes a frustration, but helpful in your case) and hopefully your topo is one region. 

 

So set your topo plan region to have extreme view ranges, and that should satisfy things.
