The datums from the other wing of the building are no longer visible. In the dialog, set the override to Invisible in the view where you do not want to see the scope box or the datum elements assigned to the scope box. Select a scope box, and on the Properties palette, for the Views Visible property, click Edit. To clean up the grids in each view, you can override the visibility of the scope boxes. The Orientation property of the view is set to By Scope Box. In this case, the view is also rotated to align the view crop with the application frame. Apply a scope box to the view of the angled wing in a similar way. Turn off the visibility of the crop region on the View Control Bar. The view crop is adjusted to the boundary of the scope box.

Activate the horizontal dependent view, and on the Properties palette, set the scope box to Main Building. Īpply a scope box to a view to control the view crop. In a similar way, assign the grids for the angled wing to the other scope box. The scope box now controls the 3D extents of the grids, and the 2D extents are adjusted away from the scope box boundary, based on a predefined offset. In the view, you see a change to the extents of the grids. On the Properties palette, assign the grids to the Main Building scope box. In this example, select the grids of the horizontal wing. Now, assign the grids to the scope boxes.

Create another scope box in a similar way, and then rotate and position it around the angled wing of the building. Click to place the scope box around the horizontal wing of the building. If desired, name the scope box on the Options Bar. The scope boxes will make it easier to read the views and understand where the grids of the two wings intersect. We will create and assign scope boxes to control the views of each wing of the building. In this project, there are 2 wings to the building, at angles to one another. When you apply a scope box to a view, the crop region of the view is controlled by the boundary of the scope box.

When you assign a grid or a level to a scope box, the 3D extent of the datum element is set to and controlled by the boundary of the scope box.

The error message is actually a 'feature' in Revit 2017 and beyond - it shows that the programmer has been trustworthy enough to prove his identity, pay for a certificate and cryptographically sign the application. It's also a good thing of course - it validates that the application has not been tampered with. The message should dissappear if you choose 'Load Always' but I've heard of cases when it doesn't. I currently pondering how to proceed - such a certfificate is pretty expensive and I would need to charge something for the application.To control the visibility of datum elements (grids and levels) and crop regions of views, use scope boxes. I currently pondering how to proceed - such a certfificate is pretty expensive and I would need to charge something for the application.

This might be caused by a view set to Temporary View - just make sure your views are not in Temporary View status when you synchronize. Scary stuff!Īlso, please note that I have a strange bug reported in 1.7.2, something about a Read-Only parameter - please contact me if you can provide a demo project with that bug! In version 1.8.0 I implemented a whole new feature - the enabling and disabling of synchronization.Īlso, I'm trying to save that into an XML file in the current user's AppData folder, under local/OmniaRevit/ScopeBoxSynchronizer. Please note that the Views Visible setting on updated Scope Boxes will not be kept. Similar to the built-in Copy/Monitor functionality, but on Scope Boxes. The application is able to import all or selected Scope Boxes from a linked Autodesk® Revit® project into your project, as well as check if yours and the linked Scope Boxes are the same - if they are different you're able to Synchronize your Scope Boxes to match those in the linked project.
