Spliting one plan view across multiple viewports/sheets

[edgars_miskins]

Hi.
I am working on a model for a large building. I need to prepare sheets for exporting 2D dwg. But since floor does not fit into the needed paper size, I need to split it into two sheets. Basically it's one floor on two sheets.

Now, in Revit I have one plan view for the said floor. How would I go about splitting it into two sheets?
First idea was to make two viewports and crop them (as one would do in AutoCAD), but that doesn't seem possible in Revit.
Second I could duplicate the plan view, crop it, and use each part for each viewport. But in this case I no longer have singular plan view for my floor. This presents a problem with annotation tags. If want to change (add/remove) some tags after I've created the sheet I need to do this in the respective plan view. This is heavily inconvenient since I have to constantly switch between two instances of the same plan.

Is there a simpler way to do this?

Basically, what would solve this for me:
Is there a way to crop viewports?
Is there a way to show (or link) annotation tags on all plan views?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Edgar,

I think I have a good solution for you:

Duplicate your view as a dependent view, twice (right click> duplicate view>duplicate as dependent).

you will get two sub-views that you can crop at différent places but that report the same view (they are like sub-views of the main one).

It means that if you annotate the parent view, the child view will display the annotation or modification.

That way, you will get two views that you can place on two different sheets, but that you can edit via one unique view: the parent view.

Just for the final touch,

add the a line, that indicates the crop.(View panel > Sheet composition > Matchline).

I am not sure it is exactly what you need, but it should do the job!
