Hiding Parts of a View on a Sheet

When placing a particular view on a sheet, you can use the following techniques to hide parts of the view to focus on one area:

• Crop region: Use the crop region to focus the view on a particular area of the building model. See Crop Region.
• Masking regions: Use masking regions to hide areas of the view (within the rectangular crop region) that are not relevant. See Masking Regions.

TipIf you want to retain the original version of the view, first create a duplicate view. (In the Project Browser, right-click the view name, and click Duplicate ViewDuplicate.) Open the duplicate view, and apply crop regions and masking regions as needed. Then place the duplicate view on the sheet.

Example

In the following floor plan, masking regions obscure the upper-right and upper-left corners of the apartment unit to hide irrelevant model geometry.
