Crop region constrain

Crop region constrain

Dear Autodesk Revit Development Team,

 

I am a Draftsperson with over 5 years of experience using Autodesk Revit for various architectural, engineering, and MEP projects. I am writing to suggest an enhancement to the crop region feature in Revit, which I believe could significantly improve usability and control.

 

Currently, the crop region in Revit lacks the ability to apply constraints, which can be limiting when attempting to maintain consistent views or alignments across multiple sheets. For instance, when adjusting the crop region, there is no way to lock its position or size, leading to potential discrepancies and requiring additional manual adjustments.

 

I suggest adding a constraint feature to the crop region that would allow users to lock the size and position of the crop region, similar to how constraints work for other elements in Revit. This feature would ensure consistent view framing across different sheets and reduce the time spent on manually aligning crop regions.

 

This enhancement would be particularly beneficial in projects where maintaining precise alignment of views across multiple sheets is critical. It would also improve workflow efficiency by minimizing the need for repeated adjustments.

 

I would be happy to discuss this suggestion further or provide additional information if needed. Thank you for considering this improvement, and I appreciate your ongoing efforts to enhance Revit’s capabilities.

I think what you are looking for would be setting a scope box, and associating the view(s) to the scope box. TheRevitKid and BalkanArchitect both have good tutorials on this:
