To generate a section or elevation from a 3D model in ArchiCAD, follow these steps:
1. Open your ArchiCAD project and navigate to the 3D view that you want to create a section or elevation from.
2. Go to the "Document" menu and select "Creative Views" > "Section/Elevation."
3. In the Section/Elevation dialog box, choose whether you want to create a section or elevation. You can also specify the orientation and location of the section or elevation line.
4. Click on the "Create" button to generate the section or elevation view.
5. The section or elevation view will be created in a new window. You can further customize the view by adjusting the display settings, adding annotations, or modifying the view settings.
6. Once you are satisfied with the section or elevation view, you can save it as a separate drawing or include it in your project documentation.
By following these steps, you can easily generate a section or elevation from a 3D model in ArchiCAD.

Generating a Section or Elevation from a 3D Model in ArchiCAD:
1. Prepare the 3D Model:
- Ensure the 3D model is complete and has all necessary elements.
- Create a Building Section or Elevation line (from the Section/Elevation menu) that defines the cutting plane for the section or elevation you want to generate.
2. Create a Section or Elevation Window:
- Select the "Section/Elevation" tool (located in the Section/Elevation menu).
- Place the Section or Elevation window on the desired layout sheet.
- Select the appropriate Building Section or Elevation line as the "Source" for the window.
3. Adjust Section or Elevation Properties:
- Cutting Plane: Edit the Building Section or Elevation line to adjust the cutting plane if necessary.
- Scale: Set the scale of the section or elevation using the "Scale" parameter in the window settings.
- Projection: Choose the desired projection type (e.g., Orthographic, Perspective).
- Display Options: Configure display options such as hidden lines, cut lines, and materials visibility.
4. Generate the Section or Elevation:
- Click the "Generate" button in the window settings to generate the section or elevation.
- The generated section or elevation will appear in the window on the layout sheet.
5. Modify the Section or Elevation:
- Select the Section or Elevation window to access its settings.
- Make further adjustments to the cutting plane, scale, or other properties as needed.
- Cut and move elements, add annotations, or change materials to enhance the section or elevation.
Tips:
- Use the "Line Endpoints" tool to specify precise cutting planes.
- Adjust the "Clipping Range" in the window settings to limit the visible area in the section or elevation.
- Utilize the "Section Viewer" (in the View menu) to preview different sections or elevations of the model.
- Consider creating multiple section or elevation windows to represent different parts of the building.
