Cropped View Error on Sheet

melissahRSS8X — Sat, 25 Feb 2017 01:06:58 GMT

I have unit plans with complex crop regions. When I place them on sheet, model elements (except rooms and room bounding lines) disappear. They still show on the drawing if I open it separately from the sheet, and they print correctly. They also show when the crop region is reset. I attached images of the 3 scenarios.

I can think of several workarounds, but I think this is a bug. Can someone at Autodesk help me out? I'm using Revit 2017.

This is very strange indeed - especially the part about it printing correctly. In other words, it's printing MORE than WYSIWYG.

Anyways, first thought went to worksets. Could it be correlated?

Can you share the file?

@melissahRSS8X

Are are the disappearing elements part of a group or a linked files?

If yes; add a scope box and make sure a line of the scope box runs through that/those view(s) / cropped regions. That should do the trick regardless how complex or funny the region is...

PS: someone told me I shouldn't write too long text so that's as short as I can make it 🙂

Cheers,

Hi @melissahRSS8X,

We have had the same issue at the practice.

Basically after trying and trying again to find a logical answer to the problem, we cropped just a little bit larger / off the walls/objects/alignments (we were strictly aligned with the walls), and it worked.

Wasn't a temporary bug though as it would happen again if cropped strictly following wall boudaries.

Maybe this little trick can solve your issue as well.

I have seen instances where custom crop regions result in some views not printing even though the views are visible on sheets. I have seen this in both 2016 & 2017, less so in 2017 though. Are you up-to-date with all your service packs?

Removing the custom crop always resolves the issue for me. Your problem seems to be a weird hybrid. The fact resetting the crop resolves this issue in both instances, I feel indicates that custom cropping may still be a bit buggy.

It's definitely not worksets. Resetting the crop region makes it reappear.

Some elements are part of a group and others aren't. Adding a scope box doesn't resolve the issue/
