Crop an elevation or section

Hello

We are trying to crop some sections and elevations set up by a previous team member.

We are looking for the ability to. manually adjust in the Archicad view rather then setting up in the elevation/section settings.

Thanks in advance!

In later versions (I can't remember when it became possible), you should see the extents of your sections/elevations shaded darker.

You should also see a little black line that you can stretch.

You will only see it for the heights if you have activated the limited height option in the settings (or info box).

Otherwise it is infinite height as shown in image below.

Agree with you  , But first to check Horizontal Range and Vertical Range from setting .

There is no horizontal range for a section/elevation.

It is simply controlled by the extent of the section/elevation line in plan.

Adjusting the width in the section/elevation with those black lines will adjust the section/elevation markers on the plan and vice versa.
