Visualizing 2-way clustering

Hello - I have a table of 180 factors. I have used the 2-way clustering to visualize the grouping in the dendrogram, which works really well for a few factors. Close to 200? Not so much, especially in a paper. In my mind, I have basically the K-means type plot of all of the factors clumped and colored. But this doesn't make sense for factors. Is there a way that to plot the clustering on a 2-D plot for the factors? I suppose we are calculating distances to cluster them, so maybe a constellation plot, or some way to turn those distances 2D for a regular 2D plot?

And if there is an easier way to plot the similarity between factors in a single plot that isn't via clustering, I'm all ears. Just, again, 180 factors doesn't work for things like a scatterplot matrix.

Thanks in advance!
