Managing Scope Boxes and Plan Regions with Ideate Explorer
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:
- Set Display to "Entire Project"
- Set Filter to <Ideate Audit>
- Select all scope boxes to be copied
- From the Modify tab in Revit, select “Copy to Clipboard”
- Open the new file
- 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.
