5 Select the section box to see its handles. Drag the handles to change the shape and size of the
box.
It may be easier to control the size, shape, and position of the section box from another view
(such as a floor plan), as follows:
a Open the floor plan view.
b In the Project Browser, right-click the 3D view’s name, and click Show Section Box.
The section box displays in the floor plan view.
c Select the section box in the floor plan view, and drag the handles to change its size and
shape.
6 Return to the 3D view and make any further adjustments required.
7 Hide the section box so that it does not appear in the exported file:
a Click View tab
➤
Graphics panel
➤
Visibility/Graphics.
b In the Visibility/Graphics dialog, click the Annotation Categories tab.
c Clear the check box for Section Boxes.
d Click OK.
Export the 3D view defined by the section box
8 Click
➤
Export, and select an export option. See Export on page 1341.
For more information about section boxes, see Using a Section Box in a 3D View on page 159.
Exporting Intersecting Geometry
If the model includes intersecting geometry (such as an extrusion passing through a wall surface), Revit
Architecture does not create new edges along the lines of the intersection. As a result, Revit Architecture
may incorrectly remove hidden lines during export. If you export a view of the design with hidden lines
turned on, you may see unexpected results when you open the view in another CAD application. See
Hidden
Line Model Graphics Style on page 252.
To see all visible lines, create an opening in one surface before passing another surface through it, or join
geometry to create an edge.
Intersected wall and extrusion in hidden line mode (no edges at the intersection of
the surfaces)
