The workflow for creating Section Box by Scope box: Creating section box by manually entering bottom and top values of your section box.Using elevation levels to set the bottom and top to a level.Creating section box around the scope box.Please Note: You can select elements in any view you want but the intended workflow for both functions is to use a 3D view. Please refer to the images and more information below. It can also round off existing section boxes and tune the height with to an increment. If you start the command from a Plan view you are asked to “pick a window” to define an area to create a section box form. This tool enables you to finetune the section box in your 3D view manually either by aligning the section box to a scope box, set the bottom and top to a level or manually enter the values desired. By clicking on that icon section box will be automatically created around the element Select an element you want to create section box around in a new view you have created.If you want to keep initial 3D view, first make a copy of a 3D view The workflow for creating Section Box by preselecting element: If you select an item in a non 3D view, the function presents a list of 3D views and will then isolate the element(s) in selected view – but you will need to open the view manually. If a room/space is not detected the section box will isolate just the selected element(s). Select one or more elements and the function will set the Section Box to the containing room/space if the element(s) are in a room/space.
This tool is found in the Modify panel and helps you navigate the building model by isolating Rooms or Spaces in 3D views. I hope that this little trick can help everyone speed up getting those jogs displayed in the other views quicker.Use Section Box tool to quickly create 3D view that only shows selected elements or a room or space with the selected element. Bingo, everything is looking great and you just saved a whole bunch of time! Now re-enable the Crop Region and Scope Box in the affected views and you are good to go. Now select the grids or levels, click the Propagate Extents button on the Ribbon, pick your views and finish the command.

First thing is to Disable the Crop Region and Scope Box if you have one in the view that contains the 2D extents you want to propagate, plus any other views you want to propagate.
So how do get past this if this is happening to you in a project? Here is the workaround, a little messy if you have a lot of views to work with but at least you can get it to work. Below is a good example of that happening with a crop region and the dialog box won’t open. Very confusing when you first stumble on this command and in one view it works but in a different view it doesn’t, did that just ring a bell for some for you, and it did for me. You know this is happening to you when the dialog box will not open at all, no error, nothing. But there’s a funky issue with this command, for some reason this functionality breaks when a crop region or scope box is enabled and the datum’s 3D extents goes beyond the scope box or crop region edge. The concept of the command is when you change the grid or level from 3D to 2D you can then propagate those custom 2D changes to other views. Since this is only done in the view where you did it this is where the Propagate Extents tool comes in to save the day! Most of us would like to see those jogs in a lot of the other views and this is where those changes can be pushed into all the other views that you choose. So you add an elbow by clicking the little jog symbol and change your view to your liking. So when would you want to use this command, let’s say you have grids or levels that are close to each other or they overlap each other. It’s not a regular button that shows on the ribbon as you go through the tabs but only shows when you select a datum such as a grid or a level. The feature is called Propagate Extents, what is sad is this tool is not very well known, part of the problem is discovering it. In this Click Saver I want to talk about an old trick that I have used for years that recently a client thought was a new feature in Revit 2014.
