Viewports

[afshin_samimi]

Me again: how are the commands in Revit switching viewports at the workspace.
I use in my design 1000 time a day while I am working with Architectural desk...
Precisely during my work I turn around my design and adjust my view with the direction of my elements and objects.
How can I do the same thing In Revit during design.

Well, the work method is different becasue you are not drawing solids, unless working in the family editor or making an in place family.

However, there are two ways to do what you want. For othogonal views of the thing place sections, elevation and levels to look at different parts of the model, for other 3D views use F8 followed by the 'align view' tool, if you place a ref plane on an awkward object and name it you can alignthe view to that ref plane so you are looking square onto it.

I tried it but the view wont change.
Here's what i did :
1 - Draw a Refplane at 10 degrees in East Elevatio View
2 - Name it Roof Plane
3 - Go to View - Orient - By Plane...
4 - In the Name, i selected my Reference Plane : Roof Plane
5 - Click ok

No changes, im still in the exact same position that my 3D view was. What am i doing wrong ?
I added the rvt file

You can click the plane tool, then select pick plane and pick the plane you want to orient too. now when you draw you are in that plane.

Thats fine, my problem is to orient my view to that plane
Just figured it out, i need to set orient to ;plane then set it to top
thanks guys
Problem is that a circle doesnt show me an ellipse
Any idea ?
