An unnamed 3D view of the current project opens and displays in the Project Browser. If an unnamed view
already exists in the project, the 3D command opens the existing view.
You can rename the default 3D view by right-clicking the view name in the Project Browser, and clicking
Rename. Named 3D views are saved with the project. When you rename the default, unnamed 3D view, the
next time you issue the 3D command, Revit Architecture opens a new unnamed view.
You can use a section box to limit the viewable portion of a 3D view. See Using a Section Box in a 3D View
on page 111.
Using a Section Box in a 3D View
You can use a section box to clip the viewable portion of a 3D view. When you enable a section box in a
3D view, the only change to the view is the addition of the section box. The following image shows a 3D
view with a section box enabled.
After you enable the section box, you can modify its extents using drag controls in the 3D view, or you can
modify extents from other views, for example a plan or elevation view. Section box extents are not cropped
by the view’s crop region.
To enable a section box:
1 Open a 3D view.
2 Click .
3 In the Element Properties dialog, under Extents, select the Section Box option.
4 Click OK.
5 Select the section box and use the drag controls to modify the extents, as necessary.
