Plan Regions

Plan Regions

It would be great if plan regions could be drawn once in a working view, named similar to how you can name a view template, and then be applied to any view you want similar to how you can crop a view based on a scope box.  

Currently, if I need to make a change to a plan region but I've already copied it to multiple views they do not update across multiple views.  I think we need this functionality, and however it is handled it needs to accommodate multiple plan regions on a single floor/view.  I certainly understand that they cannot cross boarders, and there never should be a need to do so, but I'm dealing with an existing building right now that has many variations of levels just on the first floor itself.  I feel like this is more of a common problem that made out to be, and being able to "apply" a plan region outline across multiple views so that they all change at the same time when updated speaks to the power of Revit, yet it is very static currently.

Excellent observation and idea. I also find myself using the same plan region in multiple views so some sort of re-usable plan region would be helpful

Yes - allowing plan regions to work similar to scope boxes would be a GREAT feature for those of us working on large buildings with split levels.  Currently it is very time consuming to create and manage plan regions across many views, especially when the design changes and you have to go back to each view, show the plan regions, and adjust them all again.  This process is even more arduous given that plan regions cannot overlap one another, so adjusting them can take several attempts.

This would be a great feature added! Working in an MEP firm, we have to do the same plan regions to four independent views. We can't make groups of Plan Regions, so this would be the next best thing to being able to change one plan region and it change them all. Right now, I have to go adjust the line boundaries for technically the same plan region in four views. Great idea!
