Stretch a viewport in a sheet

[george1985]

Hello,

I am a Revit begineer, and have a question:
I put a Viewport in my Sheet. The Viewport has been taken from the Level 1 showing the house and small auxiliary house on the right. What I would like to do is to remove this small house from my Sheet (shown with a red cross on the photo below):

I though that can do it, by just stretching the Viewport's border. But no, this is not possible in Revit.

It seems that in order to remove the small house, I have go into the Level 1, (or "Activate view" from the Sheet directly), then activate the "Show crop region" and "Crop view" functions and then crop the small house. Is this really the only way it can be done in Revit?
This means that I need to actually modify the way my Level 1 looks like, in order for the change to be applied in the Sheet. There is no way to just apply this change in the Sheet only (by moving the edges of the Viewport for example) and let the Level 1 floor plan remain as it is?

Is this correct?

Thank you for the reply.

Is your crop region assigned to a scope box? You can check in the properties.

Hi Jerry,
I check the "Scope Box" property of my Viewport and it says: "None". Do you suggest to change it to something else?

A scope box, if assigned to a view, only defines the crop region of the view. The main purpose of a scope box is to standardize crop region of multiple views (e.g. having the same view crop for a floor plan, a ceiling plan, a framing plan, all MEP plans, equip/furn plans, etc...). It has nothing to do with what you are wanting to achieve.

No no, none is good, sometimes its locked because its assigned to something else. 

Sorry wasn't read your post carefully, so yes you can adjust your crop region just in the sheet, by activate  the view right on the sheet. You do need to unhide the crop region everytime you want to adjust the sizes, the way mostly is done is duplicate the views, one for the working view and another for printing.

Duplicate your sheet view and edit to show as you wish on that sheet. 

Create a separate working view with your auxiliary house shown. 

If you want notations to show from the working view you can duplicate as dependent.

You can't change a view extent on the sheet and it not change the view extent on the sheet. A view is a view, regardless of sheeted or not.

If this works for you, please accept as solution.
