Well, thank you very much to all of you. Lets begin a campaing for to make revit capable of adjust all those view range settings graphically in sections and elevations. What do you think?

Sections and elevations have nothing to do with the view range of the RCP. Don't add to the confusion.

The fundamental flaw with controlling view range graphically from a section is that each and every floor plan and ceiling plan have their own individual set of view range properties.

Everything is programmable. You can have a button to turn on and off the view range lines and a pull down menu to choose which level view range you want to show. For example.

But why from a section? You can't see how that affects the RCP, you need to do it from RC plan.

In the same way you can adjust the far cliping plane of a section in a plan view by dragging it. Just look the explanation: it is a section view, with dashed lines indicating the cut plane, the view depth plane and the top plane.......well you could dreg those dashed lines. That`s all

It would really help to set the range graphically. Something sim to the wall edit assembly box, instead of just inputting numbers.
Thanks dgcad for the illustration.

I find it interesting that nobody complains about view range for floor plans. I believe this is simply an understanding issue.

Hey all, I made a video to help show the steps on how you can show a door in a Reflected Ceiling Plan in Revit. Enjoy!
