Stretching the Viewport in a Sheet

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):
sheet2.png

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.

 

EDIT: my apologies to administrators for posting the same topic three times. The forum is definitively not made for users with slow internet connection. Discourse one would be a blessing.

hi, you can duplicate the view and crop it and put on the sheet

Hi Arnles,
I got plenty of replies in here:
https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-architecture-forum/stretch-a-viewport-in-a-sheet/m-p/8622833#M2...

The concept of duplicating the view and cropping it, is pretty strange to me. Plenty of other BIM applications allow to simply crop the Viewport in the Sheet itself.
In any case thank you for the reply.

Before placing thé view on the sheet, you should modify the crop( and annotation crop) for the view. Along with this check you scale settings and open An empty sheet.

Now drag the cropped view you just creatief on the empty sheet.

 

More information about cropping views can be Found on the knowledge network of autodesk. I can recommence you the getting  videos for a basic overview of revit.

yes, crop view is how you control the view's extents. If you were to be able crop the viewport, how would you control the view's visibility when it is off the sheet?

Yes. There isn't really a separate entity for the viewport like in the AutoCAD. What you see in the view is what you get on the sheet. If you need a cropped version of a particular view, you can duplicate as a dependent and have a different cropped view to place on the sheet. Plus, anything you put on either view will be visible in the other view as long as it is within the cropped area.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

Don't worry about the 'viewport'. Double click inside it - that will take you into the view. Once you are in the view, make the Crop Region visible (there is a button towards the bottom of the screen for that). Select the crop region, Modify>>Edit Crop. That will take you into a sketching environment, where you can modify the crop region to crop out whatever you want. Accept the modification. If the view doesn't crop, then look at the bottom of the screen again and you will find a button to crop the view. You can duplicate the view with different crop regions on each to show different parts of the project model.

Hi RevitRx,
Can you please explain this a bit in detail:


"If you were to be able crop the viewport, how would you control the view's visibility when it is off the sheet?"

I didn't understand that part.

Thnak you in advance!
