Modify the View Range

Establish or change the horizontal planes that control an object's visibility in plan views.

  1. Open a plan view.
  2. On the Properties palette, locate the View Range parameter, and click Edit.

    Alternatively, enter VR on the keyboard.

  3. In the View Range dialog, modify view range properties as necessary.
    Tip: Click << Show to see a sample view range and learn more about terminology used in the dialog.

    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 plan view of a multi-story building and you select Level 4 as the top, Revit LT keeps Level 4 as the top, 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)".

  4. Click Apply to view changes.
