Purpose
To easily select and cut planes. This is most commonly used with planes located on short walls.
Note that although this topic only describes roof plane cutting, use the same procedure for cutting ceiling planes. The only difference is that you use the Plane-C (Cut Planes - Ceiling) command.
Prerequisites
An existing wall or work line

- Open a layout and select the plane.

The selected wall/work line is highlighted and a dashed red line is displayed at the plane intersection.
