3D Section

[kohare293]

how do you produce a 3D section?

What version of Revit are you using?

2010 is quite different to previous versions when setting these up.

I will provide and answer for you in 2010.
Firstly you must have at least one section in your project.

Open a 3d view, Duplicate it and rename the new view to something that you like ie 3D Section AA (or something like that)

Move your mouse over the view cube (should be top right of screen) and right click.
You should see a menu that contains "orient to view"
When hovering over "orient to view" a second fly out menu will appear with
Floor Plans
Elevations
Sections
3D Views

Hover over the section category and a list of the sections you have in your project will appear. Select the section you wish to have as 3D.

In a 3d view turn on the Section Box. This is a property of the view.
