Not to mention typically you have very few scope boxes in a project vs DOZENS (hundreds?) of plans/sections/elevations in a project. Locking a section box to match that scope box to ensure folks don't accidentally damage it or remove it completely (all it takes is an uncheck).Įasily drive multiple views from one location
Scopebox revit update#
scope of job changes I can edit a scope box and update multiple elements (plans, grids, levels, etc) but that export view needs to be edited manually.
Specific view set up to export navisworks. If I were to guess it would be because the view range is defined by 4 parameters instead of an overall z dimension.Īlso, what would be perfect is if the section box updated to the edits to a view or scope box. You can hide the scope box in the print setting by checking the Hide Scope Boxes.
Note that scope boxes shouldn't get printed in construction documentation. It can easily be adjusted after creating it, so make sure it is pinned in order to prevent unwanted modification. If you set a crop of a plan to be controlled by a scope box it only handles the xy extents, not the z. Scope box is a 3d transparent object that controls the view extent. Draw the boundary of the scope box by clicking in the upper left-hand corner to the lower right-hand corner. By control I mean a view can be assigned to a scope box and the boundary of the scope box will govern the crop region. Go to View Tab > Create panel > Scope box. Not sure why it took Autodesk so long to get here but I’m happy that the time has finally arrived.You can do what you suggest but it doesn't apply the z extents of the scope box to the section box. Scope boxes are intended to control the crop regions of views and datum such as Reference Planes, Levels and Grid Lines. This becomes extremely difficult to manage when your project has over 20 scope boxes. Filter out all the views which cannot have a scopebox (reduce proces time) Check if a view Contains the name of a Scopebox (FirstFloorBlock 1 -> Block 1) Always get the First scopebox it finds and assign to the View. Revit doesn't have a native 'Scope Box' Manager to show you all the Scope Boxes in the model, how they are named, or which workset they are on. Assign Scope Box to View by View Name.dyn (49.8 KB) I have made a script somewhat similar to this. The fun part on all of this is remembering that you now have odd shaped viewports in Revit. One of the hardest elements to manage are Scope Boxes. The function updates the scopeboxes and maintains all scope box selections. When using this tool I also like to use the Offset option, this way I can get a small offset with the border from the original edge. This application is used to delete unused Scope Boxes from a Revit project. When using this feature on interior elevations don’t forget to use the Pick Lines tool to help trace the existing edges. This has always been a limitation in Revit but now you can very easily go up around items to crop the interior elevation exactly how you want to view it. In this example I’m using the Callout tool and using the Polygon trick to create the enlarged plan view.ĭon’t forget to use this tool on your Interior Elevations. Notice the Arc or Circle tool is not available but you can use multiple line segments or better yet use the Polygon tool and set the number of sides to 36 to create the round shape. Once you select this it will go into the normal Draw Panel and you can create the boundary to your liking. Once you have done this now select the Crop Region and notice the Ribbon, you now have Edit Crop Region. To start using this feature it is not hard, in one of your plan views or maybe one of your elevation views you just need to turn ON your Crop Region that is on your Status Bar. a coworker tried to do the same but they are unable to apply their callout to the scope box. ago Some hate them as they clutter up views on screen. Revit scope boxes can be used for 2 reasons:1- To control the crop region on multiple views 2- To control the extents and visibility of datum elements.This v. Theyll drag you down with them if they keep stopping you using all the tools at your disposal. Sounds like an unwillingness to learn or change on their part. Have all been brain washed for so long on how we couldn’t do this before in I am able to create a scope box and then apply it to a callout (enlarged plan). As the scope box is what controls it in 3d. Is clients are forgetting about this feature. We now have the ability to do odd shaped viewports, ironically what I’m finding People have wanted for years but we never had until the 2014 release. In this click saver I want to talk about a new feature in Revit that quite a few
