How to flip section in RIR / control the section range and facing


When it creates a section view using either a rectangle or a box, the red outline represents the rectangle I provided. However, it completely disregards it and proceeds to rotate it by 90 degrees.

[Furthermore, whether rotates the original rectangle or the rectangle generated from a plane, it remains unable to rectify the situation]

half solution A: “However, by using the endpoints of this red rectangle, you can regenerate the rectangle and give it to it, which allows you to control the angle of this section, but you cannot control the orientation (flip) of the section.

my question would be :

  1. how to control the exact size of section frame and facing by provide a rectangle?
  2. or how to flip a section in rhino inside revit, so i could still using half solution A to create a correct size of section frame, then using “flip” to gain both side section

Appreciate for any further help.!

Hi AIMO3D,

Here is a short video to help you understand creating Views in Revit.

Thanks Japhy,
I’ve checked the video, which I found could not solve the problem.


I am using different plane to control the facing of the section, and use a bunch of rectangle to crop the responding section, but the result are kind of werid since it did not match the facing or crop shape as I provide in GH.

I am now using “View Crop Region”, it solve the problem above, but leading to another bug: some wall and structure which are cutted, did not shown in the section…

here is not cropping the section, you could found the wall and beam being cutted and shown


and here is using view crop region

all cutted things are disappear

OH, i found out the missing cutted object, is related to using plane as the frame to create section

section view create from room number final.gh (76.4 KB)
section view create from room number update.gh (79.2 KB)
section view create from room number.gh (84.8 KB)
this is three different way to create section, you could found out the bug when using the “final” and “update”.

using plane as frame to create section: losing cutted object
using retangle as frame to create section: the crop area is not correct and facing could not control(when using rectangle represent correct facing and region, it will throw a bug:


)

ok, final solution.
using the correct plane to create extra large size rectangle, use it as frame. rather than using plane as frame.

then using the exact size of rectangle to crop the view,

solve all issue
