For objects placed above section plane (like roof window or ceiling beam) is there a way to display them in a plan drawing? Right now I am just drawing them with annotation lines.
FWIW in Blender if you duplicate a camera, rotate it 180° around local Y and scale it -1 along X you'll get the mirrored projection you can overlay over your normal section view.
@Gorgious@JanF I would say this solution is probably better suitable for whole ceiling plan. I was thinking something more simple - e.g. in the case of the roof window, I would create a Plan/Body/PLAN_VIEW representation, I am just missing a way to include it in a drawing when it is above the section plane. I would use that feature quite often, is it worthy to file a feature request?
I think objects behind the camera are automatically culled so you would have to manually add it back (not sure if possible) or somehow extend the plan representation of the window so that is intersects with the camera frustum and draw this as a representation. Just speculating, I do not use Bonsai drawing features extensively. I'm not sure if the IFC schema explicitely treats these cases for drawing somewhere ?

I don't think this functionality exists yet.
Yeah, I just use annotation lines to outline my roof windows on the plan as well.
One way would be to do a RCP and overlay it on a plan in inkscape:
