How do I get my elevation and section markers to align in each floorplan?

[parkside125]

Hi everyone,

I have about 15 floorplans and I've had to adjust the elevations and section markers (the tail and head) to tidy them up. I was wondering if there's a quicker way in Revit to align them without having to manually to it for each plan? 

Thanks!

I don't think you can not even with Dynamo etc. because these graphics are not exposed to the API unfortunately.

What it needs is a kind of align extents command. With grids you can set them to the scope box and delete the scope box forcing the grids to take up that position. Although you can set sections to scope box it only affects the crop.

Can understand why they allow setting extents differently on different plans but not why you can't even reset them or make them consistent. In theory the extent of the section marker should really only represent the extent of the actual section. When you have a tiny section extent and drag the marker extents metres away to avoid objects it is largely just confusing to the drawing reader.

You could turn off the live sections, place sections referencing other views, stretch them however you want, then copy paste aligned to other views.
