Hi All,
I have a 3d scope box view set to front view on the cube. Is there anyway in revit to convert the 3d front view into a section view without actually drawing a section view on the floor plan?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
go to top view on the cube and move your section box to where you want your section to be and then go to front or side views also on the cube.
the depth of a 3D section box can be also adjusted the same way the section depth is adjusted.
I have to ask why you don't want to use a section for a section view. Yeah, I get it, a 3D view can be made to look like a section and a section is basically a 3D view that can't be orbited. I'm truly curious as to why.
Okay, your question is about controlling your working view(s). I thought there was an issue with using/creating a section view having to do with visibility or some other reason. A lot people have a lot of trouble drawing and/or controlling their view in 3D mode. This question actually has given me some ideas about my own (and some coworkers') workflow. Thanks.
In this attached example, if you have a 3d cube set to front view, you can't connect the two blue pipes diagonally. Revit won't let you. The only way to do that is doing a section view on plan. I hope you understand my frustration.

A section view is not the only way of doing that. It is the easiest for most people. Some have found even easier ways of doing it. That was the source of my confusion.
