#DYNAMO ASSIGN SCOPEBOX CODE#
This is helpful for consistency in showing a wing the same in a Furniture Plan, Dimension Plan, Occupancy Plan, Code Plan, Framing Plan, Roof Plan, Power Plan, Communications Plan, Lighting Plan, HVAC Plan, Piping Plan, Sanitary Plan, etc. Scope boxes within Revit are also an excellent method of having multiple views of the same area show the exact same portion of the building in each view. Scope boxes provide us with a very easy way to address this issue. When this occurs, we want the construction documents to show the angled portion at right angles to the sheet to make effective usage of the sheet space.
Your project should now be a lot lighter and more workable.Ĭhances are you hopefully won’t be in the situation where you’ll need to utilise this tip if you’ve planned your Revit project effectively.Buildings often have portions that are created at an angle to the main portion of the building. You can either go and edit each one of these elements, or just use the same method of selecting the scope box and creating a section with the Coins auto-section box add-in. You will notice that any elements which are attached to this view will also remain (floor slabs + walls which were associated with the selected elements). You will now be left with the elements you want to work with, and a much lighter project. Once you have done this, click on your light bulb icon and unhide all elements in view. Highlight all the remaining elements and delete them. You should now see the rest of your building MINUS the elements that you want to work with. Staying in the same view, go to your ‘Properties’ palette and turn off your section box. The section box and all elements inside will now be hidden. Now you will want to click on ‘Hide Element’. If you can see other elements that were also selected in your view at this point you can shift de-select all these. We will now want to highlight this whole area including all elements in the scope box. You should now have the selected area of your building isolated in a section box.
#DYNAMO ASSIGN SCOPEBOX PLUS#
Name your view and either give a custom size or as I usually do, select the ‘Element extents, plus buffer’ 300mm is the default (giving you a 300mm tolerance on each side of the selected elements). Select the scope box, go to the ‘Add-Ins’ tab and click ‘Auto Section Box’. Once you have done this, we will use the ‘Coins Auto-Section box’ add-in to isolate the scope box, just giving us the area of the building that we want to display / work with. Go to the ‘View’ tab and select ‘Scope box’ create your box on a floor plan and ensure that the vertical extents are at the desired position on a 3D view. Setting up worksets to narrow down the elements by cores is also an option, but unless you have set the project up with this in mind, it could take a while to set up and re-edit all your worksets.Īn option which me and my colleague Johnny Furlong discovered is making use, yet again of the amazing ‘ Coins Auto-Section Box‘ (which is quickly becoming my favourite and most used Revit add-in!).įor this example I will use the Revit sample project as I’m not able to post information on the project we needed to do this on. Using a section box will give you the desired visual effect but the project will still be as heavy as it was prior to narrowing down the view to only show the elements you are presenting / working with. Ever had a Revit project which is so large that you are having performance issues and trouble working on it? Want to work on a specific area of the building (possibly cores) without being slowed down by the data in the rest of the building?
