Expand Drawing View Window to include outer edges of reference geometry

My reference geometry is larger than my default geometry. When I create a view in the drawing file, the reference geometry is cropped. Is there a way to expand the borders of the drawing view window to include the outer edges of my reference geometry?

See the reference BOM structure section of this article https://synergiscadblog.com/2015/02/06/inventor-bill-of-materials-structures/

Change the value in the "Margin" box on the Model State tab of your drawing view.

Why is everything grayed out on my "Model State" tab?

That means you assembly doesn't have any reference BOM structured components in your model.   So lets back up and let us know what you mean by reference geometry since @swalton  and I assumed you meant you have reference BOM structure components in your model/assembly.

Got it! My bad. I switched it back to default as I was trying different things. @swalton suggestion works now. Thanks!
