Scope Boxes

Scope boxes are essential components of multi-disciplinary view coordination, and they should be highlighted within the <Ideate Audit> Filter. You can keep an eye on the scope boxes in your projects with Ideate Explorer by selecting and zooming to a scope box by the name and easily transferring them from one project to another.  

To copy all scope boxes between project files: 

  1. Set Display to "Entire Project"
  2. Set Filter to <Ideate Audit>
  3. Select all scope boxes to be copied
  4. From the Modify tab in Revit, select “Copy to Clipboard”
  5. Open the new file
  6. Use Paste to transfer to all the scope boxes into the new project

Plan Regions

A plan region is used to apply a different view range to part of a floor plan view so a model element that might typically be invisible due to the cut-plane height can be indicated on the plan. Unlike scope boxes, plan regions are view-specific, and they are easy to lose within the Revit project. Use Ideate Explorer to delete unwanted plan regions or to copy them from one view to another.
