Creating a Plan Region
1
Open a plan view.
2
Click View menu
➤
New
➤
Plan Region, or on the View tab of the Design Bar, click Plan Region.
3
Sketch a closed loop using lines, rectangles, or polygons.
For more information, see
Sketching
on page 251.
4
On the Design Bar, click Region Properties.
5
In the Element Properties dialog, for View Range, click Edit.
6
In the View Range dialog, specify the primary range and view depth.
If the value for Cut Plane is specified as Parent View’s Level, then the level used to define all the
clip planes (Top, Bottom, Cut, and View Depth) is the same as for the entire plan view.
NOTE
Values for offsets need to make sense with respect to one another. For example, the top offset
cannot be lower than the cut plane offset, and the cut plane offset cannot be lower than the bottom
offset.
For more details about view range options, see
View Range
on page 198.

Click Finish Sketch.
You do not have to enter sketch mode to edit the shape of a plan region. Each boundary line of the plan
region is a shape handle, as shown in the following image. Select the shape handle and drag it to modify
the size.
