Can't Align Crop Regions

In the recent past I have been able to adjust crop regions for interior elevations by aligning the crop lines to the face of walls, floors, and ceilings. All of a sudden I can't do this anymore.  Am I delusional, or maybe have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere?

 

On an aside note, I still cannot receive notifications via email when one of my posts has been answered. Please let me know if anyone knows who to contact to get that issue corrected..

You cannot use Align tool if that is what you mean. But you can grab a grip of the crop and drag it to a wall face and it will snap to it.

You can edit the crop as lines by selecting it and clicking on edit crop.Annotation 2020-01-20 19253323.png

Yes, that is exactly what I thought I had been doing, but I guess not. Thank you.

Aha! That is the way I did it. Once in edit mode, then I can align the crop boundaries. Thank you!

Now I see what you were trying to do.  However a crop boundary of an elevation view has its built-in intelligence that allows you to snap the edges to bounding elements such as walls, floors, ceilings, roofs automatically by simply dragging the grips to such elements. 

 

Manually editing the crop works but Revit has a tendency of having issue when print sheets with edited crop views in vector output, especially when the edited boundary is not a rectangle.

Why don't you use Framing Elevation (uncheck attach to Grid) … those align automatically to face of wall/ceiling/floor

'Normal' elevations will detect the bounding elements when placed as well.  And for all interior elevations, if the crop is stretched out for some reason, it can be snapped back easily.

We use framing/interior elevations for rooms and wall/building sections for views stretching across the building.

However, if the  case is an interior elevation for the whole floor, true...Stretching would be the solution...

I've never tried Framing Elevation, but will do so now. Thank you!

By the way, sometimes when I go to set up a view, the marker type is called a Building Elevation, and sometimes Interior Elevation, and in some files, I only get the option of Building Elevation. Why's that?

You can create as many Elevation Types as you want.  Those are not governed by whether you use Elevation or Framing Elevation.  By the way, you can use Elevation instead of Framing elevation and the crop still snaps to the bounding elements.  Try place an elevation in a Room you shall see.
