Posted on 10:40 by Unknown

In a recent Revit support case the end user was copy/pasting masking regions from one drafting view to another. The issue they were running into was the pasted masking regions were not hiding any of the drafted details on the underside of the masking region.

The two can have relational parameters but cannot...
