View Range / RCP

Having an issue where the I cannot turn off the model beyond the view depth. I have a 20+ story building. I'm at level 1 doing an RCP, the level is 10' high. My cutting plane is at 7'6", Top is set to Level above. View depth is set to level above.

Depth clipping is set to clip without line.

 

Issue: When I zoom in and out, I see the rest of the building (It is not "cut" as expected) Revit is redrawing the entire building each time I zoom. How do I cut away the background?

 

I was able to capture revit redrawing the view and this is what it looks like, you see 3 levels above. I want to see about 6" of Level 1. Ideas?

what are your VG settings?  Any underlays?

No underlay. VG has ceilings at 50% transparency.

No dice, in the process I discovered that the arch model had mech in attachment mode. This has been corrected but yeah still seeing the entire model "beyond" the scope of what the view should be.

hi @-Navisworker-,

 

Have you checked the associated level above?

In a section view, select the "base" level of your view range, and check which level is associated as "level above"

This could explain why the scope is so deep.

 

Another explanation could be that some faimlies do not belong to the right category... Some category do not cut (furniture for example) and will displaay its entirety as soon as you "see" the object...

 

Any luck with that?

 

Cheers,

 

François
