WHAT THE TOOL DOES
VR — View Range — brings the four view-range planes into a compact interface. Values use project units and can be adjusted without navigating successive native dialogs.
KEY FEATURES
Offsets
Enter and adjust offsets in the project’s length units.
Preview
Preview changes live before confirming the view range.
View compatibility
Specific handling of ceiling plans and certain structural views when Revit imposes relationships between planes.
IN PRACTICE
From task to result.
Read the four planes
The interface distinguishes Top, Cut Plane, Bottom and View Depth. Each row combines a level, offset and slider to clarify the active view range.
Adjust visually
Move sliders or enter a value and press Enter. The view updates during adjustment so you can observe the effect on visible elements.
Confirm settings
Check heights and view depth, then use Apply to retain the settings or Cancel to leave the dialog.
A practical example
To understand why an element is not visible in a plan, adjust the cut plane and view depth while watching the display change.
