Hi there,

I have an internal elevation referencing issue.

I have a main floorplan, with larger scale callout plans that (necessarily) overlap each other slightly. In these callouts I am having to go through and place an internal elevation tag for each room.

Unfortunately when I place these elevations on a sheet some of them are referencing the wrong parent view, ie not the one where they are visible but the next-door callout view where they dont even show up! In the instance properties dialog i am not allowed to alter the parent view, its all greyed out.

Is there any way of changing the parent view of an elevation?

if anyone can help id be very greatful.

probably has to do with where the elevation view line is in the view.  If you highlight the arrow of the elevation, the blue elevation line will appear.  This is where you are "standing" in your elevation and you will see everything to the view extents of the elevation.  Almost like a floor plan view range.  You can move the blue elevation line independant of the elevation symbol.  I generally move them close to the wall I want to elevate.

 

Try moving them so they don't appear in the overlap of another view and see what happens.

Thanks Tom,

yes i had tried that and was perplexed when the problem still occurred.

Then a bright spark in our office realised that around each view there is not one but two crop boxes, ie a secondary dashed line box outside the main view crop which controls the cropping of annotations. Id seen this before but never worked out what it was for! moving this boundary in to match the main crop boundary solved all our issues.

Hi,

We are going through similar problem. We got an advise from our Revit guru to uncrop the callout view and switch off the elevations and section don't belong that view. Worked like charm.

Revit is intuitive enough to pick up in which parent view you make the changes to the view depth. That's what causes the problem because you may make the changes in one view and forget about it. To fix follow these steps:

1. Go to the view you want to reference.

2. Click the building elevation and select the arrow representing the elevation in question.

3. At this point the blue line and dotted rectangle (indicating view width and depth) will appear. Grab the view depth grip and change it slightly but not so much as to ruin your elevation.

 At this point revit will realize which view you want to reference and make the change for you.
