Software: Autodesk Revit 2010

Description: In this Autodesk Revit 2010 training video we’ll talk a bit about View Range and how to adjust the settings so that your views cut at a certain depth.  I created a generic family that shows model text at 1 foot increments in elevation. So as we change the settings of the view, we’ll can see how the settings affect the view.  Also, we’ll quickly cover Orient to View. With Orient to View you can have your 3d view (any of them) match your planometric views (Plan, Elevation, Section, ,Call Out).

Topics Covered:

  • View Range Property
  • Orient to View
  • 2d View to 3d view
  • Instantiating components onto a surface

    David, That was the best explaination of View Range I have seen. Thanks! Can you answer this? We used to be able to Orient to Profile when we did an in-place family. I can’t find that option anymore. Is it gone?

    Thank you so much - now you just have to do the same for RCP View Range…or just share the family with all of us, so we can play!

    Great tutorial. Can you explain why Revit has both a View Bottom and View Depth. Having both seems redundant.

    Great way to explain view range. Can you also show how you created that family you used.
