Revit 2023: How to zoom to the drawing after turning on the “survey point” layer, “specifying coordinates at point” and “zoom to fit”?

In the screenshots below, I couldn’t figure out how to zoom to the drawing after turning on the “survey point” layer, “specifying coordinates at point” and “zoom to fit”. I just can see the “survey point” in the screen.

How to zoom to the drawing? What is the best practice?

Before you turn on survey point, I would click on the show crop region. 

It will automatically create a crop box

Then turn on the survey point and then click on do not crop view. This will crop your view. When you zoom, it will zoom only where you want your view.

Thank you for the help.

Enabling the “crop view” will let the “zoom to fit” respect the “crop region”

But now you can't see the survey point.

Expanding in the Visibility Graphics part of thread: I use a lot of "purpose-driven" Scope Boxes, each set assigned to "purpose-driven" Worksets. They range in scale all the way down to framing detail views on multiple-level plan views. A second time-saving measure is the use of View Templates and Filters. Revit has expanded Filter capabilities big time. Also, if you're working with a lot of View templates on large projects, I highly recommend using the View Template Manager Add-in. They have great customer support with free upgrades, so you own it for life. https://apps.autodesk.com/RVT/en/Detail/Index?id=6434143480366085343&appLang=en&os=Win64

Unclip the survey point and move it closer to or at the project base point.
