I've made a bunch of interior elevations. For some reason when I create the elevations the crop boundary stops at the face of the walls and ceiling, but not at the top of the floor slab. Instead the entire thickness of the floor slab is ahown in the elevations. To resolve this, I created masking regions to crop out the unwanted portions of the elevations.

My problem is, the crop boundary created by the interior elevation also crops out some of the lineweight thickness from my masking region. So the the line along the floor is always thicker than the lines along the walls and ceiling.

I was able to get the lines on the walls to match the floor by going to the floor plan where I had placed the interior elevation tag and dragging the left and right view range just past the face of the walls (it's a pain because I have sooo many interior elevations), but I can't find any way to move the crop boundary on the ceiling.

Has anyone found a workaround for this?

Another interesting note: On one of my interior elevations, I can actually see and edit the view boundary. I can't do this for any other interior elevation, though and I don't know why this one particular elevation is different from all of the others. All of my elevations have the "Crop View," Crop Region Visible," and "Annotation Crop" options checked.

Also, I'm using Revit 2014.

All interior elevations can have their crop regions edited unless you have pinned the view.  Click on the view border in elevation or the view callout pointer in plan and unpin it.

Your process is incorrect.  You should adjust the crop boundry instead of using masking regions.  EXCEPT - Prior to 2014, you could not have an irregular callout so some masking regions may have been required.  Now, in 2014, you can have an irregular shape.

Obviously I wouldn't have resorted to masking regions if I were able to edit the view boundary. That's the problem, though. I can't edit any of the view boundaries (except for that one elevation).

None of my views are pinned and all of them have the "Crop Region Visible" option checked.

I've attached a couple screenshots. Elevation 5 is the only interior elevation where I can see and edit the view boundary. I was able to change the visibility on that boundary to a thicker line, which is my desired effect. On Elevation 4, all of the properties appear to be the same as those on Elevation 5, but I cannot see nor edit the view boundary, which is why I resorted to masking regions. Any idea why it's not showing up?

Please show us an image where you click on the boundry of elevation 4.   Properties says you are not showing that.  When you do it will say views(1) under properties.

One quick comment on Elevation 4: We originally had higher ceilings in this room, but have now lowered them. I had made this elevation back when the ceiling was higher, which is why the view region goes past the lowered ceiling.

I can't select the view boundary on ELevation 4. When I hover the mouse over where the boundary should be it selects the wall (as shown in the image). When I hit the Tab button to cycle through other nearby objects, it still doesn't give me the viewport as an option to select. It just cycles through the wall, chain of walls and room boundary.

It's like the view boundary has been hidden somehow, but I have no idea how or where it could have gone.

Every once in awhile, I have seen a view become corrupted but it is rare.  I can't reproduce any instance to create the problem you are having.

Cut a new view.  You can copy/paste all annotative elements view to view.  If it was corrupted, then this will fix that.

Who else has worked on this.  I would like to know if there is another answer.

Looks like that works!!!! I made a new view of an existing elevation and I can edit the view boundary of that view! That's crazy that none of the others had worked, though.

There's a small team working on this model with and my primary focus has been these core rooms. So far no one on the team has claimed to have manipulated any of the cores or anything on the 'CORE' workset.

I did make most (if not all) of these elevation views in one day. Perhaps Revit was having a bad day that day? Let me know if there's any other info you'd need to pinpoint this error.

In the meantime, I'll start re-cutting these views since that appears to be working. Thanks!!!
