Crop a Drafting View

[zeulrick]

Anyone know how to crop a Drafting View.

I've got an Image that I want as a drafting view so that it can be referenced. I want to crop the image. Should I just crop it in separate software?

wich version of Revit you are using?

[_Vijay]

you cannot crop inside Revit but you can resize. hope it will help you.

Place it in a non drafting view then ypu can crop it.

How about cropping it on the sheet using a Masking Region.  Yes,  an MR can be placed on a sheet.  It's done via an old and simple gypsy trick. No eye of newt needed. Want me to reveal how?

The point is to have it in a drafting view so that it can be referenced, and automatically titled, numbered. I can mask it in the Drafting View but than the extents of the view are too big when placing on the sheet. I will just crop it in the most advanced piece of software ever. Paint

You can reference a non-drafting view.

Understood. You'll need to resize it outside of Revit then. 

P.S. Funny comment: "most advanced piece of software ever. Paint."  No kidding.

In case you are not clear what a non drafting view is, create a floor plan, set model display to none, place tge image, crop.

but.... if the image, is a section but you've placed it on a floor plan, then you can't reference it. is there a work around?
