About Framing Elevation Views

Quickly align a work plane to a grid or to a named reference plane.

Framing elevation views are useful for adding vertical bracing to your model, or for any task that requires quick work plane alignment to a grid or to a named reference plane. When you add a framing elevation, Revit automatically sets the work plane and view range at the selected grid or reference plane. The grid or reference plane selected is listed as the Associated Datum in the Properties Palette. The crop region is also confined to the region between adjacent grid lines that are perpendicular to the selected grid line.
