Could people chime in on the best method for punching out their interior elevation views?

We have been drawing boxes around the crop regions to create a uniform appearance but this is pretty cumbersome. Without the ability to override the crop view (and get it to actually print) I am not sure what else to do.

Nudging the crop regions off of the wall/floor/ceiling doesn't work so well either - the object won't show as cut until the whole wall/floor/clg is within the region.

very frustrating...

Use the linework tool to change walls to a thicker line width and make invisible those that you don't want to see...

I use a masking region with wide lines I trace the perimeter of the space then I draw a big box around that with invisible lines. this hides everything outside the room and creates a very nice looking interior elevation. Remember revit is drawing 90% of the elevation for you so for you to have to do a little work isn't really that bad.
