Keep the original view and duplicate it without detailing.

Working on the duplicate view, crop it adjust the grid ends to where you need them. This will not effect the original view.

You will then need to copy and paste aligned, the text notes from the original view that will only be visible in the cropped view. You can set up new room tags in that view also.

thanks beegee....

that going to be alot of work if you have 25 storeys with 64 grids running on every level.....

maybe Revit 6?

Maybe you don't need to keep the original views ? That would save time.

Even if you do, it doesn't take all that long. Takes longer to explain it.

With a high rise, you probably have a lot of text that repeats level to level ? Have you looked into noteblocks ?
