Plan Regions Wall Cleanups and Large Coordinates

The symptom of this condition are wall cleanups which vary from view to view.  For example a primary view and a dependent view.  If you come across walls not cleaning up as expected in one view let's look at the following scenario:

Let's take a Revit plan view which contained an object well over the 2 mile origin at some point.  When this object was present, the cut line for the view range extended to include this object.

At some point several plan regions were added to this view.  Each plan region was set to a different cut plane dimension.

The plan regions captured the large coordinates and this could potentially disrupt wall cleanups.  You may also notice that some rooms and room tags are not visible in the view exhibiting this behavior.

Should you come across this, you can resolve it using the following process:

1.  Ensure that the object creating the large coordinates has been removed from the project.

2.  In the view open the View Properties > View Range, and note the Cut Plane dimension.

3.  Then select all of the plan regions in this view, and set the Cut Plane, of the plan regions, to match the same value used in the view.  

Once all Cut Plane values match, this resets the cut plane boundary of the view which the plan regions and entire view utilize.

4.  After the plan region Cut Plane dimension is reset they can be assigned back to the previous dimensions.  This generates a new cut plane boundary and should show the objects, such as walls and rooms, as expected.

I have this exact problem, but the model is well within the 2 mile limit.
I'm unable to access the video example & I'm a bit dim to follow the text (I'm a Revit newbie) - could you please show some screenshots?

Thanks for the comment, this could be the same issue even if there is currently no geometry well off. It could happen if it existed there at some point. Simply do the following:
-In the view this is occurring in, right-click, “View Properties”. Scroll down to locate “View Range”.
-Click “Edit”.
-Locate the “Cut Plane” dimension, make a note of this dimension.
-Hit “OK” twice to exit back to the view.
-The next step is to locate all of the plan regions in use in the view. You want to highlight each plan region, highlight it, click “View Range” and note the “Cut Plane” dimension.
-After you make a note of each plan region “Cut Plane” dimension, select all of the plan regions and set the “View Range” > “Cut Plane” dimension so it matches the view. For example if the View “Cut Plane” dimension was 4’-0”, make each plan region “Cut Plane” dimension 4’-0”.
-After all plan regions have been set to match the view, return to the view. This resets the cut boundary.
-Then you can highlight each plan region and set the “Cut Plane” back to the original value before you set it to match the view.
