Edit a Crop Region

Use crop regions to hide parts of the model in a view.

Crop regions can be rectangular or non-rectangular.

  1. In a plan, elevation, or section view, select a crop region and click Edit Modify | <view type> tab Mode panel Edit Crop.
  2. Use the tools on the Modify and Draw panels to edit the crop region as needed. Modify the existing lines or delete the lines and sketch a completely different shape.
    Note: When a crop region is non-rectangular, it may create large file sizes when printing to PDF. See Troubleshooting: Printing Views and Sheets for additional information.
  3. When you are finished, click Finish Edit Mode.
Note: If you want to reset an edited crop to a rectangular shape, select it, and click Edit Modify | <view type> tab Mode panel Reset Crop.
