Does anybody know if is possible to show a line that represents the Height=1,6m from a given level?

Imagine you have a project with a sloped roof and you wish to show the area that is actually usable on this floor (let's say the surface where there are at least 1,6m of free height) Can I somehow represent that on a plan view?

Any help would be really appreciated.

You could use either of the following:

1) Model lines set to correct height and extending to the room extents in plan.

2) You can add in a ceiling but make it transparent with visible model hatch. (This is what I use to show ceiling plans correctly.

3) To get a volume. You can select the room and adjust the Limit offset to the correct height.

4) You could do any in-place family that in 3D represents to the habitable space.

Perhaps I am very thick today cause I'm not sure if your answers solves my doubt.

I made a terribly simple sketch to try to show what im aiming to get. Is basically a level plan that shows additionally 2 (or more lines) representing the intersection that an hypothetical plane would produce with the roof.
