    Default Orient to View

    In Revit 2009 I used to be able to be in a 3D View and select the option of Orient to a View and select any view in the entire project including details which I loved. If you were trying to work out a detail created from a callout or section and you wanted to see exactly what was going on you could orient your working 3D view to that exact spot. I don't see this availability anymore in 2010. The only choices I get for Orient to a View now are Floor Plans, Elevations and 3D Views. Does anyone have any idea of what happened or if I'm missing a setting somewhere?

    Thanks

    It is hidden in the View Cube now. While in a 3D view, right click the View Cube and you can choose to Orient to View or Orient to Direction. So much for the highly vaunted discoverability in the new UI.

    Best,

    You can assign it a keyboard shortcut now to make it that much easier.
