WHY???!!! are some elements that are not in view in a floor plan view, that are above the view cut plane, selectable???!!! i.e. windows? For example, when I draw a fence around part of a wall to select certain items that are in view, windows above that are not in view are selected. I then have to use the Filter, or Shift-button, to deselect the elements I didn't want selected. This leads to the problem that Revit prioritizes selecting elements that are not in view OVER selecting elements that are in view. This behavior happens across the board, with multiple tools and features. For example - when dimensioning walls in floor plan view: if two walls are stacked on top of each other, on different levels, and there is a floor using the the wall that is cut in view as a boundary, using tab-select, Revit will first select the wall below, then the floor, then something above like a roof, and finally the wall that is cut in the view. WHY???!!! WHY does not Revit default to first selecting the wall that is cut in view?
