"Cut Profile" is a view specific editing tool, thats designed to make your life easier when you dont want to model the nuts and bolts...Case in point: the concrete foundation slab below is chamfered at the corners.Want to model it accurately?Think on the lines of in-place slab families,solid sweeps/extrusions....
But here's the thing...this profile is visible in ONLY one section view and a detaied callout.A quick and effective way to handle this situation(apart from modelling it,of course) is to use "Cut profile" on the foundation slab...here's how it works....
Use the Cut Profile "Face" option to select the slab face; and after Revit goes into the sketch mode(orange lines!) draft out your profile and finish the sketch. Make sure that your arrow points towards the part of the slab that should remain.




Remember that this is view specific editing and will not show up in the model except inthe current view!
