Elements outside the visible range of the view do not display in the view. The exception to this is if you set
the view underlay to a level outside the visible range. For more information on the Underlay view property,
see
View Properties on page 210.
The following figure shows the view range from an elevation view standpoint.
Figure 1
In the next figure, elements within the View Depth are drawn in the Beyond line style.
Figure 2: Attic plan view with Cut Plane set according to Figure 1.
Element Line Style
Elements within the boundaries of the primary range that are not cut are drawn in a projection line style.
Elements that are cut are drawn in a cut line style. You can change the display of cut and projection line
styles through the
Object Styles command. Some elements can be displayed as cut, and some are never
shown cut. To determine which elements can be shown as cut, see Cuttable and Non-Cuttable Family
Categories on page 361. Elements that are within the view depth are drawn in a different line style in the
view. That line style is called Beyond. You can define its display using the Line Styles command.
Levels Remain Absolute to One Another
In the View Range dialog, levels used to define the visible range are absolute to the current level of the view.
For example, if you are in the Level 2 floor plan of a multi-story building and you select Level 4 as the top
clip, Revit Architecture keeps Level 4 as the top clip plane, even if you add levels between Level 2 and Level
4. If you were to delete Level 4, then the clip plane would revert back to the default level with which the
view is associated. In this example, it would revert to Associated Level (Level 2). Values, such as Level Above
and Level Below, always have a specific level name associated with them. For example, if you are setting the
view range for Level 1, the Level Above value would read Level Above (Level 2).
Additional View Range Rules
■ Model elements located outside the visible range generally are not shown in the view.
The exceptions are floors, stairs and ramps, and components that stay or are mounted on the floor (like
furniture). These are shown even when slightly below the visible range.
■ Elements that are strictly below the cut plane, but are at least partially within the visible range, are shown
as viewed from above. Components are displayed according to Family Element Visibility Settings for
Plan/RCP. See
Visibility and Detail Levels on page 360.
