      Now that LO has updating dimensions, I'm giving it another chance. However, I can't find how to make a non-rectangular viewports. I found this youtube video but for some reason it will only play a few seconds then hangs. It's also from 2007, so I imagine there may be newer and better methods.

          You can't make non-rectangular viewports but you can use a shape drawn over the viewport to create a clipping mask. Position the unfilled shape over the viewport, select it and the viewport, right click on it and choose Create Clipping Mask.

            I use clipping masks for all my sections, elevations and interior elevations. It works perfectly. You can assign the mask a line style as well which works great for interior elevations.
