Shortcut for turning on / turning off the Section Box

[victor_vijeuKD42L]

We have a keyboard shortcut for Section Box : BX. But it doesn't work for turning off the Section Box. It would be very useful to me to select an object, then Section Box it, edit the object, then turn off the Section box, select another object, Section Box it, and so on. Reusing the same view would save a lot of time.

I would like a visibility button for the section box command to turn on or off the box in a view added to the bar at the bottom of screen near the Crop Region button.

Currently the only option is to turn the box on or off in the Extents section of the Properties Dialogue. I want it on but not visible.

I use it for plumbing stacks in a building, showing a 3D view of the stack. To turn the visibility on or off I have to go into VG/Annotations and scroll down to Section Box and pick. Very cumbersome to do when you are producing many views.

You can also drive your work associates crazy by right click -->Hide in view....

This is a great idea. I'd love it to be in the View Properties palette in Extents next to Crop View, Crop Region Visible, Section Box, "Section Region Visible". (just to make it match).

I've never used the crop view buttons on the View Control Bar, weirdly enough. I use it primarily for temporary overrides and temporary view templates. But I'm certainly not opposed to it being in the VCB.

Agreed it should look something like this.

To add to this, it would be nice when re-activating the section box, to have the option of either using the prior setting, or resetting it entirely (which is currently the default)

it would be worth to have ability to join any shortcut for "hiding the visibility of section box"

@revitPWC6K : You can hide it in V/G -> Annotation Categories -> Search for : section , then uncheck Section and Section Box. I would very much like a shortcut for filtering and hiding Section Lines and Section Tags
