![]() ![]() We can adjust the visibility in the Override column. The Automatic visibility column will display the current state of visibility. ![]() To open the Scope Box Views Visible settings: Select one or multiple Scope Box(es) > Properties Browser > Views Visible parameter > Edit… To avoid any adjustment of the Scope Box, we can turn it invisible for each different View Type. When you place a Scope Box, Revit will automatically show this in 3D views and all other views where they intersect with the view cut plane. The tips below can help you improve your views’ efficiency and consistency. If you want to make the most out of the featured Scope Box in Revit, there are a few tips to keep in mind. This automatic offset is visually created to indicate the distinction between the 2D and 3D extents. Yet, it is possible to drag the blue dots of The View Specific Extent (B), which is in this case independent of any other view.įurthermore, Revit will automatically create a visually consistent offset (C) of around 2540mm on a 1:100 scale, between the 2D and 3D extents in the horizontal and vertical way. The 3D extent will become locked whenever a Scope Box is assigned to it, and you are unable to move it. Note that in this instance, the 3D extents (A) of the Levels will align with the borders of the Scope Box. Go to Properties Browser > Extents category > Scope Box parameter > Assign the Scope Box.Select Datum elements (grids, levels, and or reference planes).A Scope box can control the 3D extent of elements such as Grids, Levels, and Reference Planes. The Scope Box in Revit can also help you create consistency for organizing Datum elements effectively. In order to remove the crop, change the Scope Box to None temporarily. Note Whenever a Scope Box is assigned to a view you are unable to remove the Crop View (it will grey out). Plan Views on different levels share the same Crop with the Scope Box Now that you have placed the first Scope Box, we can continue by assigning the Scope Box to single or multiple views within Revit. Note While a Scope Box can help you to ensure consistent-looking views, it’s not possible to create an exact Scope Box in Revit, as the software does not allow for precise measurement inputs. You can adjust the height of the Scope Box by dragging the Shape Handles or using the Height parameter. Note that the Name and Height parameters are now only available in the Properties Browser and are no longer accessible from the options bar. It is still possible to use the Drag symbol to adjust the height. Update: with Revit 2024, you can change the Height of the Scope Box by using the Height parameter in the Properties Browser. To change the Height of the Scope Box we can open an elevation, section, or 3D view and then drag the blue shape handles. Change the name of the box in the Properties Browsers. Step 4 is optional, you can also change the Name and Height after placing the Scope Box. Scope Box placed in Plan View is also visible in other views Drag the Scope Box by clicking in the upper left corner to the bottom right corner.Īfter you have placed the Scope Box, notice that the rotate symbol is at the upper right corner, which will be your indicator for the orientation.Follow the steps below to create a Scope Box: This can be done within any view, such as a (ceiling) plan, elevation, section, or 3D view. Don’t worry about the size and height when placing the Scope Box, because we can adjust the location and size/height afterward. ![]() To create a Scope Box we have to open a Plan View, this is also where the bottom of the Box begins. Tip After placing a Scope Box, you can pin or hide it to avoid accidental adjustments. Without this method, it can be a mess and time-consuming task to align the same extents. This comes in very useful when we want to create consistent-looking views. We can use the Scope Box to align the extent of these elements to the border of the box. In addition to the cropping view extents, managing the Datum elements such as Grids and Levels is possible. So in fact, you don’t have to resize every view individually. Whenever you change the size of the Scope Box, every view that is assigned to this box will change as well. What is a Scope Box?Ī Scope Box in Revit is a 3D transparent-looking box that can be used to crop (multiple) views with ease. Additionally, I will give some tips and tricks you can use while working with Scope Boxes. In this article, we are going to take a look at what a Scope Box is used for, how to create a Scope Box, and assign it to a view.
