Title Block: crop view for insertions of CAD

[aalonsojaver]

hi!

I have a problem and i dont know if it has the solution in Revit.

My company works the location map of the houses that built in AutoCAD, I need that map in my titble block in Revit, so I insert the CAD in  the family of my title block, but is static, i can't move it, i need something like CropView that gave me the oportunity to hide part of the CAD.

I make the exercise inserting the CAD in a ceiling plan view of the project to have the flexibility of hide part of the map (Crop view), but only work if I inserted in one sheet not all that i have.

Somebody knows how to solve this?

Just click on the titleblock and edit family and put the map

image on it and it will be on all the titleblocks.

[parveen.revit · Accepted solution]

you can create a location map (insert autocad) into title block family.

Now make several hatches/fill regions for different project locations, Give these hatches a visibilities parameter.

then after loading into project, you can controll the visibility of each hatch pattern.

Ok, I use this workaround:

1. Create a section in any location (preferably out of the way but easy to find later)

2. Name it so you can find it in the Project Browser.

3. Change the 'visible at scales coarser than' to 1:5000 so it will not appear in most other views.

4. Insert the image on the section.

5. Crop the image.

6. Insert the image in required sheet.

Tell me if anyone knows of a reason not to do this.

Cheers.
