Error: Cannot Remove Scope Box attached to Crop Region of Zero Height

Anonymous — Tue, 04 Dec 2018 21:16:34 GMT

Somehow, I've managed to create a crop region with zero y-dimension. I am unable to see this region's scope box in 3D views, only in 2D views, and because of that, I am unable to select the scope box and delete it.

I'm using Revit 2017. If anyone can help, it's very bothersome to have my model stained with a poorly named scope box that doesn't work.

I think you can iterate through document database for the current view and get all Scopeboxes of height Zero and then Delete it via ElementId.

If I ever run into this issue again, I'll try just that.

I wound up being able to delete the scope box on a coworker's computer. I'm unsure if the variable here was the configuration of Revit or not, but there wasn't a clear reason why I could not see that scope box in the 3D view, but they could...
