Edit view range for callouts

Marcus.Isacsson — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 10:09:03 GMT

Hi fellas!

Is it possible to have a callout above the cut plane in any way?
Or edit the view range?

Want the callout the show a window above cut plane (shows in plan with filter)

If your enlarged plan (callout) needs 1 view range but has an area that needs another cut plane elevation, use the Plan Region command in the Callout view.

See the following video:

Oh totally forgot that plan regions exist. That should do it, thanks.

But this does not work in Revti 2024 any more. Plan region option is greyed out when i am in the callout view. Any solution on that ?

To create a plan region in a Revit callout view, place a callout in your main floor plan, then create a plan region within the new callout view by going to the View tab > Create panel > Plan Region, and drawing a closed loop. Adjust the View Range for that region on the Properties palette to define a different cut plane or view depth for that specific area, allowing for detailed display of elements like high windows or a different floor level.

Thanks you for the reply. I found out that the important thing is to choose a floor plan call out, not a detail call out from the properties meny before placing the call out. Still not quite sure what the difference is, but by choosing a floor plan call out i can adjust the view range in the call out view and/or place a plan region. It does not work by choosing a detail view call out.

which is honestly ridiculous. and need to be fixed. I have a bunch of details nicely organized and one random detail that needs to be a plan callout just so I can get it cut in the right place.

edit: decided to just make two details in same spot (one plan and one detail) then copy the detail elements over to the detail callout and hide the walls.
