Override views on sheets

[Anonymous]

Hi Revit Gurus, I have a problem views override each other on sheets.
If I have a bespoke shape on a crop region of an specific view when I place it on a sheet beside another one, this new view override the previous one and the area which this new one override the existing one does not have the bespoke shape, it shows a square \ rectangular instead.
I supposed this is a bug in Revit, isn't it??
Any work around for this???

Hello Francisco,

There is a known issue with cropped regions of irregular shapes which is that they mask each other, as if they were actually rectangle-shaped.

This is a known issue with non-rectangular crop regions. Basically, there is a masking region that this the size of the bounding box for the crop region. This is a limitation from when crop regions were only allowed to be rectangular.

The only workaround at this time is to move the viewports further apart.

Also keep in mind that the order in which you insert views on a sheet determines which one placed In front of the other.

The issue has already been addressed by the Development Team and will most probably no longer be a problem starting with the Revit 2016 version.

Could you share a screenshot of the behavior so that I can confirm that it is the subject I am referring to.

Thanks

Thank very much Alida,

Yes that it is definately my case.

I am hoping to see that implemented in 2016.

Alida,

I believe this is the issue you are discussing.  Any help in resolving this issue is much appreciated.  As you can see, when one viewport overlaps another, objects are blocked out.  Is there no way to adjust the transparency of a viewport?

Hi Francisco,

The only option you have is to choose which one to place on top. (https://screencast.autodesk.com/main/details/aa2ccf2e-95fa-4050-9175-e13abbedc145)

There is another option you can use: to create your crop from multiple rectangular shapes. (check this one: https://screencast.autodesk.com/Main/Details/76e07954-7dc1-454b-8aef-722957087b85 )

Hope this helps!
