While watching this video I was reminded of one of my earlier battles with the view range settings; I think I was almost in tears before I finally figured out what was wrong. Turns out the view direction setting was completely throwing me off. The structural plans in whatever template I was using were set to "up" (or RCP) rather than "down" as I had expected. I think you'd change this setting by editing the view's family type (been a while since I last used Revit so I might be mistaken).
I used to be okay with Revit but admittedly I've forgotten a lot (haven't had much opportunity to use Revit in the office unfortunately). Your videos are invaluable in re-acquiring all that lost knowledge. Thanks for posting such a great tutorial!!

Thank you so much. I was struggling with this particular tool and this is the only good detailed info I could find.

dude you are a life saver! Always my go-to when I need a review or a new concept.
Thank you!

You are amazing my friend!!! Great videos! I have a long way to go, but these videos really are great. Thank you for doing them.

Thank you so much, you saved so many hours to find the right value that secretly would work..

[DaintyAbby]

Your English is excellent. Very articulate

[Burhan]

This was so much needed. For me Interms of casework and generic model and the plan region was so much needed.
Thankyou again Balkan.
You are doing great.
Gratitude. :)

This is great info, but the real fun begins when you have ceiling plans. Do you have a video about view range in ceiling plans?

[PriscillaA.MoralesZ.]

is in the link above as well the course that you mention to create from the beginning the model you are using?

Hi, it's a really cool video, many thanks.
One question: How you showed the ranges? I think for (green, red, blue) lines in Sec. 1?

[scottpalermo]

How did you show the view range lines in the section?

[professordeb]

Best explanation of View Range ever! But why oh why does visibility of walls and floors not show/hide/cut EXACTLY at the dimension set in the dialog? Ugh...Autodesk!

[brianhansen]

Hi Balkan,
First of all, thank you for the content! - It's really great and helpful.
I the video, at 3:04 min. you talk about section 1, you have below, how do you manage to get the view rang overview on the screen??

[aysenurdankiye]

thank you for this good video, do you have video for reflected ceiling view range and plan region ?

The high windows / High Bathroom windows above the cut plane must be shown as dashed lines per the architectural drafting convention
