Interior Elevation Horizontal Range

The Horizontal Range can be either Infinite or Limited.

The default choice is Limited. In this case, the IE view will extend horizontally until the Room Boundary line.

If the Room Boundary is a Wall, then the view automatically extends to the depth of the Wall; you can see this by the Marker Range highlight, which overlaps the Wall area.

To adjust the horizontal range, select the Room Boundary line and stretch or shrink it using the commands of the pet palette. (Stretch/shrink modifications to this segment will affect the neighboring line segments accordingly, as when editing any polyline.)

An Infinite Horizontal Range means that the Interior Elevation viewpoint will extend horizontally to include all visible parts of the model.

Add Bounded Areas (Interior Elevation Default Settings)

To include connected enclosed areas in the Interior Elevation viewpoint, choose Add bounded areas. This checkbox is available

in Interior Elevation Default Settings (you must set it before you place the IE; you cannot set this control for an already placed IE)

if the Limited option is checked for Horizontal Range

This way, if the room contains an odd-shaped alcove, the IE viewpoint will include structures that fall beyond the Room Boundary Line, but still fall inside the room.

The following two illustrations show the result of the checkbox setting:
