Horizontal view break levels issue

[f_tagliettiX9WQE]

Morning community, 

I am working on a section view and need to apply a horizontal view break. When doing that, levels of hidden floors somehow remain visible and mix up as shown in the image below.

Can anyone help and suggest a workaround?

Cheers!

Before you break the view select the levels that will be within the broken portion of the section and hide them.

Also if you want to do any dimensioning that spans the break you should add the dimensions before you break the section and move the dimension text so it is within the area not cut be the break.

Why don't you just hide the overlapping levels via Hide in View By Element (on the right-click contextual drop-down)?

Thanks guys for your suggestions, my intention was not to use the Hide element in View command, as I find it hard to keep track of the changes in case of a change of the break level.

HUH?  You don't want to use Hide in View By Element because it's too hard to manage?  You are really hamstringing yourself.  For Revit to do what you want you want it to do, Revit would need to be sentient. 😉

Honestly, if you are at a stage in documentation where you are creating section details and using the break view function, you should not be adding or moving levels.

Levels and grids are one of the first things to figure out after space planning ang building programming.

If you do change levels during the detailing stage you just need to make sure check intersecting views.

There is really no way around it. You should be doing this anyway since your detail itself would change.

Do you prefer to mask them instead?
