Default perspective 3d working view! Revit promotes itself as a design tool but you can’t even work in perspective 3d space. Even KetchUp has this feature, and hate to sound like a broken record but… Archicad too.

" may i ask why you are not using that program then? do the benefits of Revit outweight that option or are you forced to use Revit?

I've answered this very question on another post, but let me put it another way. I use PC as apposed to MAC. I would never convert to MAC but let's face it PC's can be a headache at times... do you agree some intellegent MAC features could be implimented to PC? See what i'm saying?

Your editing options in parallel 3D views are limited enough as they are, so what use perspective 3D would be, short of as a reviewing tool, would be questionable (at this point in Revit's development) As it is, we've recently been exporting 3D .dwfs and using Navisworks Freedom (which has a 3D perspective view option) for our client presentations since it's a more portable format with a readily downloadable reader.

Ummm really? You see no advantage for working on a model in perspective view? How do you actually get an accurate view of the building while navigating in 3d space? The human eye does not see in parallel view… if anyone uses 3ds max or sketchup, you would appreciate the difference. You can get close into a model with objects behind the camera automaticaly hiding (not getting in the way like Revit currently does). I’m not talking about exporting to other platforms or viewing still shots with a camera view… im talking a “working perspective view” with a fixed camera angle (adjustable of course). This is one of the first things I looked for when I opened Revit long ago, and I was confused as to why it wasn’t there… Someone back me up here?

Seriously I see no advantage. But then my career/work focus is production and delivery, not form-making, which (in our office) is still developed in sketchup by considerably less cynical part one students under their architect's guidance. By the time designs of our principal form reach me & the rest of our team (and Revit) it had best be fixed to a point that I we no longer need to explore the building in such a way.

Its an interface problem. In revit you can actually create a camera, walk around the building or looking for it (one action at the time). You need patience, and a very smooth mouse movement.

I see where Archiboi is coming from and i agree, recently i was pondering this very thing when i went to draw up a "3d detail" and was unable to change any line types or modify much of anything. i think these tools would be very useful, especially as a way to demonstrate ideas to contractors.

Firstly, I've got your back, Revit needs a perspective working view. Also, recently I've noticed that my perspective views will eventually 'break'...meaning I can no longer even select / modify the crop region. I've reluctantly accepted that I can't edit elements in these views but this is worse. Anyone have this problem or know how to fix it?

jchafe,
You can have as many perspective views as you want. Rename your default perspective viw to working. Then then next time you click on the perspective view icon, Revit will make you a new one.
