Controlling Visibility Of Scope Boxes - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

Controlling Visibility of Scope Boxes

Scope boxes are automatically visible in 3D views and any view whose cut plane intersects the scope. They
can also be set to display in elevation views. You can set their visibility for other views by resizing them or
changing their visibility property. Scope boxes do not print in construction documents.
Resizing a Scope Box
1 Open a plan or 3D view, and select the scope box.
Handles appear on the scope box.
2 Drag the handles to resize the scope box.
As you resize the scope box, you control the views in which it displays. If a view plane no longer
cuts through the scope box, the scope box is not visible in that view. Consequently, any datums
associated with that scope box do not display in that view.
For example, suppose a building has 8 floors. You resize the scope box so that its top boundary extent is at
Level 4. As a result, the scope box and associated datums will not display in the plan views for Levels 5
through 8. Conversely, if you resize the scope box to intersect those levels, the datums will display in those
views.
