So I've spent the last two months learning Revit while working on a Core & Shell job for a hospital tower addition, so I have spent a lot of time working in exterior elevation views. Something I've noticed in both 2009 and 2010 is that you cannot select a group object while in a view with the "Clip with Line" view property setting. Selecting the objects within a group is not an issue, but you need to select the group to edit it, so I've been forced to change my view property setting to "Clip without Line" in order to select my group, then make my changes, then change the setting back. This seems to be the case whether you're in a plan or an elevation view, but I haven't found much reason to use this setting in plan, but it is VERY helpful to use this setting in elevation.
Is this a glitch or is there a benefit to this "feature"? I like to use Clip with Line for my building elevations and sections so that I can select the elevation or section marker and dynamically adjust the clip line to control the range of what I can see.
Thanks.
