But hey, it wasn't too long ago that you couldn't slope waste, vent, and storm water piping in Revit. If we could only get Levels to be at a slope, or be able to set pipe/duct offsets based on a reference plane, it would be a lot easier. Setting the pipe elevations using dimensions off of annotation lines drawn along the bottom of the utilidor (rather than having 7 different Levels within a 5 ft range). I instead created separate "Upper" and "Lower" Floor Plans (not Dependent Views) for each manhole, set the X & Y plan layout to the Scope Box for that manhole to straighten it out for the sheet presentation, and then set the View Range independently for each manhole Floor Plan. Scope boxes just can't do that yet (or at least Revit 2018) and the vertical view within Floor Plans are instead only adjustable through the View Range.įurther working the model, I discovered your comment that all of the Dependent Views are locked into the View Range of the original plan. Thank you kubsix! I believe you have the answer there.
Revit limit 3d view to scopebox how to#
Unless Revit figured out a way to have a sloped Level (oxymoron) or allow Reference Planes to be used as the basis for View Ranges?Īm I missing a setting to make scope boxes cut in the 'z' direction? Ideas on how to make this work? The utilidor slopes as well so it is not as easy to set two universal Levels and use the View Range. Cut a new section/elevation to inspect the. This will force the display of grids to show on all levels. A good general rule would be to set up the primary levels before laying out the grid. See if it shows up in the view in question. Sure, I could use the View Range within each plan view to accomplish this but I was hoping to use the grips on the scope boxes to visually dial in where the separation occurs. Try going to a view where the grids are visible, right-click at the grid, and choose Maximize 3D Extents. Looking at the tutorials, scope boxes can cut 3D views in the 'z' axis, but I can't figure out how to use the scope box to cut the 'z' direction in plan views. But both plan views of the "upper" and "lower" scope boxes show the piping through both scope boxes. Since I already had the scope boxes around each of these areas, I thought I could just copy the scope box and have one for the "upper" half and one for the "lower" half. Click the lower right-hand corner to finish it.
Revit limit 3d view to scopebox plus#
To draw a scope box, click the upper left-hand corner to start the box. Open Revit Open a project Draw a Scope Box Go to a 3D view where you want to match the Scope Box Select the Scope Box Go to Add-Ins > Auto Section Box Set Element extents, plus buffer: to 0 Hit OK The 3D view now has a Section Box that matches the selected Scope Box. On the Options Bar, enter a name and specify a height for the scope box.
My issue is, I want to show in plan view the piping in the upper half of the utilidor and a separate plan view of the piping in the lower half of the utilidor. In a plan view, click View tab > Create Panel > Scope box. I utilized Scope Boxes and Dependent Views to present large scale views of the utilidor where there are piping branches (manholes) and to present these in nice, perpendicular views on the plan sheets. I am working on a utilidor project that has multiple angles and levels of piping.
