I cannot determine the purpose of this feature!  I have a full wall section and would like to split the view to only sow a few feet at each level...and place the view on the sheet so all levels could be shown.  I have seem many drawings will full wall sections that impliment break lines to not show the continuous wall between levels.

 Can revit do this?..or do I need to create many dependent views and align them?  If so, then why do we have the ability to "split" the crop regions at all.  Completely stumped..

Thanks for any thoughts.

Greg

Once you activate the split on a section you can then move the two halves together to create a shortened section. You can do this a many times as you need in one direction (vertical or horizontal)

I FFEL LIKE I SOULD BE ABLE TO THIS...BUT I CANNOT MOVE THE REGIONS CLOSER TO ONE ANOTHER.  I CAN SPLIT THEM...IE: I CANNOT "SLIDE" THE FOUNDATION CROP THAT HAS BEEN SPLIT, UP TO THE FLOOR CROP SPLIT FROM THE SAME VIEW?

When you click on the crop region, you will see a double ended arrow in the middle of each split area.  That is what you use to move the whole region portion.  You adjust only the edge of the split by grabbing the region edge.

HOLY CRAP . . .those are some small arrows.  Thank you so much, I knew there was a way...but our current Revit looks like old school autoCAD, which unfortunately uses a lot of yellow in our template and hid the arrows.

Thanks again...this should get posted in the tips and tricks section....unless I am the only one who could not figure it out.

Turn off the black screen and use white like most Revit users.  I might also advise that you don't use colored lines except where you want a line that prints in color.

The structural firm that I work for uses colors, and prefers a black background.  HUGE change from my typical things with Architects is RAC.  I have a hybrid between the two now just using personal settings...but still got the white background!!

I couldn't agree more.  I am one of many who had problems convincing our office to use a white backround.  RevitCity posted the current poll question about which color should be used at my request.  THANK YOU REVITCITY. . . however, we still have black background and colors for EVERYTHING.  They have such difficulty in letting go of (...dare I say it...)
