Creating a Scope Box

You create scope boxes in plan views only. After a scope box is created, you can change its size and position in a 3D view.

1. In a plan view, click View tabCreate panel (Scope Box).
2. On the Options Bar, enter a name and specify a height for the scope box, if desired.
   Tip: You can also change the name of the scope box after creating it. Select the scope box, and on the Properties palette, enter a value for the Name property.
3. To draw a scope box, click in the upper left-hand corner to start the box. Click in the lower right-hand corner to finish it.

   The following floor plan shows 2 scope boxes: one around the main building, and another around the aviary wing. When you draw a scope box, it displays drag controls, which you can use to resize the scope box. You can also rotate the scope box using the rotate control and the Rotate tool . (See Rotating Elements.)

   
4. If desired, open a 3D view to further adjust the size and position of the scope boxes.
