I wanted to include 3 recent questions and the answers in case anyone comes across similar scenarios…
1. Question: Viewport on sheet not selectable…
Answer: In the sheet view, toggle Reveal Hidden Elements. See if the viewport title appears as hidden. If the viewport was selected > Hide in View > Elements, this can occur. If so you can select the viewport > Unhide in View > Elements:
2. Question: CAD link not cut by section…
Answer: Place the link into an in-place component instead so the component category can be utilized for link cuttability by Revit. For a list of cuttable families, I have included the Help documentation below:
In the quick video example below [no sound] Generic Model is specified:
3. Question: Wall infill location line alignment…
Answer: You demolish a component such as a window, and then need to change the wall infill type. Say the wall is thinner or thicker than the host wall. You wish a specific infill side to align with the face of the host wall.
You can first select the wall infill > Properties > Location Line > set location line to the desired side, and then change infill type. It will align with the new location line.
Keep in mind the finish face side will vary based on the direction the wall was originally drawn [for example right to left versus left to right]. Quick video below [no sound]:

Ryan,
Thanks to the "Clinic" for helping with our ailments :-)
Can you please advise whether the line created by the view can be altered to extend to the length of the view title, or at least be dragable to a custom length?

You are referring to the viewport title line correct? You can customize the length by selecting the viewport first, and then selecting the blue grip of the line and modifying it as needed. If you select the line first, you can move the location instead but not adjust the length. The trick is to select the viewport first, then drag the grip…

Ryan, I changed the view title to show the circle on the right side of the viewport but cna't get it to work automatically like the default one.
1. It draws the changed view title from right to left but still places it on the left side of the viewport.
2. It draws the line in the view title from left to right as the default one and does not follow the changed right to left labels.
Is there a way to have the title automatically show up on the right side of the viewport and automatically draw the line from right to left.
