Crop region for drafting views

Crop region for drafting views

Please introduce a crop region for drafting views! 

 

I don't buy earlier comments and explanations for why this isn't already possible, many times we draw one detail and then need to show parts of these details on different sheets for presentation purposes...... it's stupid to suggest dividing these details up into several parts just to get them to fit on a sheet......

 

Further more when drawing 2D section details we need to have all the parts of the building present to refer to and for control and seeing that detail views don't have underlay/referencing functionality it is even more essential to have view cropping functionality.

 

I also sometimes use drafting views to create simple 2D presentations for things such as plot layouts, site plans etc. and these too need to be cropped regularly for presentation purposes, once again it is silly that we need to chop these drawings into bits just to get them on a sheet!

 

Once again please add this functionality.

The autocad/revit integration is really flawed and suboptimal so at this stage it seems to work the best to link PDFs rather than link/importing cads as long as that is properly configured. That way you can crop, you dont have to worry about line weights/styles etc. 

 

It is very odd to me that there is no way to import the ctb files or similar to revit so that we can, more easily, create rules that xxx color print specific colors. For example, if I have layer "WP_Furniture" in magenta in one file and do object styles to make it grey then I have to repeat the process if I import another file even if it the layer has the same name.

I know this is a common issue amongst most, Cropping drafting views, so only the relevant  content is only visible.

 

Usually I would try to avoid Drafting views and use live views but for the task it warrants the need for a drafting view.

Wild idea... hear me out... maybe instead of policing decorum and procedure in the threads, Autodesk could just add the obviously needed features everyone is asking for.

While it seems like this would be simple to do, it looks like it still hasn't been implemented. Added my vote.

Oh my god, there is always something like this with Revit isn't it? I have completed half of my workflow and now I realize that can't proceed because there is a simple expected functionality missing for whatever the hell reason. I can not crop a drafting view and thus, can not create detail cut-outs of the parts that I need. The only workaround I see is to create copies with detailing of these drafting views and mask the unnecessary parts of the family. Thanks for the pain in the rear, love the dedication to the torture for years without end, keep up the good work!

411 people have up voted this comment. Presumably many have added it to the "proper forum" for requesting new features. 6 years later - SIX!- and still not a function. This is why we choose to complain here. Revit is an absolute joke.

Please use actual drafters to write/enhance/modify this program. The lack of crop capability for drafting views is audaciously pretentious. Any actual drafter can think of several reasons for this parameter and no valid reasons for its omission.  The ability to enhance, enlarge, drill down to narrow detail is the essence of what we do. Get off your high horse and get it done.

For MEP, we use drafting views for schematics.

So if we could create dependent views to split a large schematics would be a great feature!!

2024. We still can't crop Drafting Views.

 

Revit, please.

 

You need to listen to the people who pay you money.

You need to add features that MANY people have been asking for for MANY years, even if the developers personally have no use for cropping Drafting Views.

 

Being a subscription service and removing one-time-payments means the software needs to be periodically updated to justify the subscription platform.

 

You need a better solution for people transitioning from CAD.

Revit is COMPLETELY different and doesn't give you the freedom CAD does despite being under the same company umbrella, and you wonder why people still prefer CAD.

 

When someone creates a good Revit alternative, you better hope people want to stay with you.

The way you get people to stay is to make them happy.
