Full description is in this thread: https://forums.buildingsmart.org/t/how-can-i-show-one-2d-representation-and-a-different-3d-representation-in-revit/2050/13?u=moult

Basically 2D geometry by themselves don't show up in a plan view, really strangely, and in 3D view, 2D view that should only show in plan view, show up.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked buildingSMART forum thread for the missing reproduction details and expected representation behavior. Then locate the Revit IFC handling for PLAN GeometricRepresentationContext items; done means 2D geometry appears only in plan views and does not appear in 3D views.
