Selection box matching scope box dimensions

[Anonymous]

I want to use a pre defined scope box to view a particular sector in the whole project. Now after selecting the scope box pre-defined for that sector, my revit crops 3d view accordingly. But now I want to disable the pre defined scope box but also want to keep the view cropped so that I can use shape handles to cut the view based on the levels I want to see. How do I do that? Can someone help me please

Turn off the Scope Box in the View Properties (e.g. set to "None").

when I set to none, my crop is disabled and it is bringing the whole model foot print into the view

Instad of assign a scope box to the 3D view, simply select the scope box and create a section box from the ribbon for that 3D view.

Disabled. It shouldn't be.  Are we talking about "Crop View" under the View Properties?

we want to make use of pre-defined scope boxes since it is hard to set a scope box each time because of the complexity of the project. Also, I have selected the scope box (in this case sector D) and selected the selection box but it is not giving any shape handles to modify

Yes, I get that you have no shape handles. That's why I said to turn off the Scope Box.

I think you did not read my response carefully.  Please read it again.

If you create a section box from selecting a scope box then you sure should have grips to stretch the section box.

...but you have to set the Scope Box to "None" to activate the handles.

Thank you, it worked.

What worked? Turning off the Scope Box?
