Why! I cried for the hundredth time! Why! (tears streaming down my face!)

Can anyone at Revit give a mediocre justification for the complexity of the view range? Why exactly should it take a 22 minute video on YouTube to semi get the idea. You have a top, you have a bottom, and somewhere of your choosing in the middle is a cut plane. If you want to see more, isn't that what the underlayment is for? Any Google search will show, it doesn't work, it's overly complicated. These are buildings, not space ships.

Hi @AzWoodWarriorIn a Floor Plan view, the key parameters are Cut plane and Bottom. Set a level and a height offset for each of these parameter. Everything cut by the pink line (like in the image below) will display in thick lines. Everything between the cut plane and the bottom will display in light lines. Ceiling Plans are similar to floor plan, except you have to set the Top value instead of Bottom. Make sure the View Depth value is the same as Top. I think this video have the better clarification.

If it wasn't what it is, there would be a lot people complaining about not being able to do the things that the view range can do.

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

i've never thought of views as that complicated. Top, Bottom, Cut plane and Depth (for the pipe, supports, etc under the bottom level). Ceiling plans work pretty much in reverse. 

 

The issue i always have is when some duplicates there first floor view and sets there VR as Top = 60', Cut Plane = 54' &  Bottom = 50' so they can see something on the 5th floor......

Something that I think a lot of people miss is using the correct level when creating a view. For instance, using Level 1, Main Floor, First Floor, Whatever you want to call it. Whatever level you use when creating the view is the bottom of the view range and the "associated level". The bottom or associated level being the surface that you would stand on. View depth being how far past the surface (Bottom of associated level) that you want to see.

 

Another thing that I don't think some are familiar with is the plan region found in the View Menu/Plan Views/Plan Region to force something to appear in a view that may be above the cut plane, like a high window.

I think your problem is you need to create separate floor plan views associated to levels you've created at the right height(s) to show the components and elements desired to be shown and edited.

Not sure what the problem is tbh...

 

View range is documented well enough, so perhaps it is more of a study first then get back and ask a specific question if you have a specific issue kind of thing...? Did you have a specific issue you are trying to tackle?

@AzWoodWarrior, there's a lot of speculation and guessing here as to what your issue is but you have yet to respond and actually describe your difficulties. People are trying to help you. Did you come here for help or just to complain?

 

I had a hard time getting my head around the view range when I first started but that was mostly because I came from an almost strictly 2D background. What little I did in 3D before Revit was self study.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my less than stellar question, I was having one of those days when I posted that.

Thank you, I know everyone has been very helpful. I think it was a case of I have been working 65+ hours a week, add on to that I'm 43 with a 4 year old who has been stuck inside for 2.5 months because today is the first day it has been under 105 since then. If you look at the time stamp, it's Sunday afternoon and I am still trying to finish for the week. I do believe my rant helped, I was able to get out my frustration enough to get back to work a little more calm and solve the problem. It had nothing to do with the view range BTW, it was hidden under a countertop that had gotten pulled over to far. Again, thank you every one for your help. Sometimes we need moral and emotional support as well as technical.

Plan regions - who knew? Solves the problem showing windows in plan above the view range!
