The Guide Spacing drives how big that extent box is. Bigger the spacing, the bigger the extent box. It's certainly an odd relationship.Chrishttp://www.revitdialog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-64084789399209335902013-01-09T12:47:06.854-08:002013-01-09T12:47:06.854-08:00Yes but then there is more than "one" vi...Yes but then there is more than "one" visible intersection most likely, I am after having one only to deal with.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230364057800484763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-18611077192316375732013-01-09T09:17:15.884-08:002013-01-09T09:17:15.884-08:00Keeping the Guide Spacing to 1" gives you a s...Keeping the Guide Spacing to 1" gives you a smaller extent box.Chrishttp://www.revitdialog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-51763009416034586892012-11-21T11:21:52.291-08:002012-11-21T11:21:52.291-08:00Reference Planes work well for snapping the floor ...Reference Planes work well for snapping the floor plan to the guide grids too. Often necessary for MEP models which don't usually have grids within the host model.<br /><br />(Name and pin the ref. plane at a grid intersection. The ref. plane must be vert. or horz. too.)<br /><br />A separate guide grid (or a single expanded one) can be used for placement of the view title as well. No snaps/grips to work with but eye-balling the quadrant of the callout circle to a grid intersection is usually good enough.kubs!xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17363051221782466501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-47007312368671263472012-11-13T14:40:42.073-08:002012-11-13T14:40:42.073-08:00Great tip that I've never seen before.

Our Sheets have a module that all of our standard details fit into. But....you guessed it. The modules are not square, so the Guides are useless to us.
