Crop
for Revit.
Crop Revit views around selected families, elements or linked models with consistent margins across multiple views.
Included in the complete DFrame toolsetProblem and approach
Why Crop exists.
Crop automatically defines view boundaries around selected model content. Use families, elements or linked models as the source and apply a consistent margin to one or many views.
The module is useful when repeated detail, coordination or discipline views need comparable framing. It reduces manual crop adjustments and keeps visual extents more consistent.
Input to result
Crop, step by step.
Three decisions that move the task from source information to a result ready for review.
- 1.
Select the source elements or linked model
- 2.
Choose target views and crop margins
- 3.
Preview and apply the calculated crop regions
Controls
What the module lets you inspect.
Cleaner and more consistent Revit view crops with less manual adjustment across view sets.
Crop views around selected model content
Calculate view extents from the selected content so detail and coordination views frame the relevant geometry automatically.
Use families, elements or linked models as bounds
Choose native elements, families or a linked model as the crop source to match different documentation scenarios.
Maintain consistent crop margins
Apply the same offset around calculated bounds across multiple views, avoiding uneven framing caused by manual crop adjustments.
Best suited for
Who benefits most.
- Teams creating repeated coordination views
- Engineers documenting selected systems
- Projects standardising view extents
