Extends Level Planes

[cees.vanancum]

Some people start a project and for some reason move their project including Elevation View Symbols and Sections to another location in their view. As a result they cannot see their Levels anymore in any Elevation or Section view. The reason is that the Level planes don't cross the View planes anymore. Does anyone know a simple way to adjust the extends of the Level planes so that they match the actual position of the building again?

There are two possibilities. Both require at least one elevation or section being created without its view being cropped in any way. Then the levels can be seen/zoomed in on in that view.

1) Select the levels and either maximize, or Reset the levels to their 3D Extents.

2) In a plan view, create and name a Scope Box. Now in the section, ensure the top and bottom of the scope box is beyond the top and bottom level lines. Select all of the level lines, and set them to the name of the scope box. The advantage of the scope box, is that grid lines can be set to it as well.
