Using A Section Box In A 3D View - Autodesk 256B1-05A761-1301 - AutoCAD Revit Structure Suite 2010 User Manual

Using a Section Box in a 3D View

You can use a section box to clip the viewable portion of a 3D view. When you enable a section box in a
3D view, the only change to the view is the addition of the section box. The following image shows a 3D
view with a section box enabled.
After you enable the section box, you can modify its extents using drag controls in the 3D view, or you can
modify extents from other views, for example a plan or elevation view. Section box extents are not cropped
by the view s crop region.
To enable a section box:
1 Open a 3D view.
2 Click Modify Cameras tab
3 In the Instance Properties dialog, under Extents, select the Section Box option.
4 Click OK.
5 Select the section box and use the drag controls to modify the extents, as necessary.
