Propagate Crop Extents or Match Crop From Another View

[scbunker]

The 7th most voted Revit Idea is Non-Rectangular Scope Boxes. Unfortunately it's marked as a 'Future Consideration' because of the complexity to implement. I can understand this, since scope boxes are three-dimensional.

However, I don't see why you can't implement the next-best thing: matching crops from view to view. I'm thinking of a function similar to Propagate Extents for grids, except use it for crops. If you have a crop set up for one view, why not be able to click it, click a Propagate button, and select all the views that you want the crop to apply to?

This should work for both the crop and the annotation crop.

This would be much faster than copying-pasting the crop boundary from crop sketch to crop sketch...

Where are we at with this?

My experience with cropped views for every floor plan, is that it eventually breaks the model.  Then we had to revert back to scope boxes to fix this, especially with odd shaped buildings.   Given, we usually have 50 plus sheets per discipline and at least 3 models linked in, so I imagine it has something to do with being over loaded by the time we get to the end of the project.

I think they should definitely spend the time to figure the complexity of the custom shape scope boxes and if you can copy monitor them,  that would open up a whole other world of convenience.

I am not quite sure I understand why it is so complex.  It is not like we are asking for it to be non-rectangular vertically just in plan view.  You have the ability to do it with plan regions and view cropping.  Someone needs to explain to me why it is so complex.

I can't imagine the fact it is a 3D object being an issue, since revit has the ability to create extrusions from irregular polygons.  Autodesk, please make this happen.

If we can copy a crop from a 2D view why can't we copy it for a 3D view. The needs are the same so please make this happen. It is very slow to go to each view and set it up. Please support this!
