Right-click and then select Draw Plan @Y = elevation from the pop-up menu. The Drawing Settings dialog opens.
Select the Scale for your drawing from the drop-down list.
The Scale of drawing can be set as 1:25, 1:50, 1:80, or 1:100.
Select an option from the Draw As drop-down list.
This will control the extents of how members are drawn.

- Part Section - All edges of the section are drawn for the part length of the member
- 2D Sections - The sections are drawn as lines with no section size
