HI
I use dynamic view to create sectional perspectives
Assume you have created a standard section as usual.
1. Go to 3D view of your building
2. Save as duplicate called say Section 1 perspective
3. Call up Dynamic View (F
4. Hit far right arrow
5. Click on "Orientate to a "view"
6.Look for your Section and click on it
This will bring up your section in Perspective (elevation).
Note: Remember to set your depth of field as desired in your plan to control what you want to be seen.
And you can set your sectional cut to appear in a nice red with some settings in the VP.
Hope it helps
Cheers
Steve (4 yrs on Revit and still learning everyday) That means I'm dense or this prog is deep.???)

hi hutana, thanks alot for your reply and help! appreciate it alot!
the method you taught mi helped mi to get the sectional elevation but how about getting a 3D sectional perspective with a diminishing point?
and definately i think this program is deep....

Hi, I am new using Revit, however, what you can do is to create the 3D (Axonometric) view and adjust it the way you want, then you may use the "hide command" (on the bottom (eye glasses)) to remove all the elements that are on the way of the desired view such as wall, windows, etc. I have tried twice and it has worked to me.
Or you can use the "View>New>camera" command, generate the view you want then you can use the "Hide command" as explained before.
Hope it works...

Create camera/perspective 3D view and activate "section box" option in View Proprieties. Rotate, scale section box as you like. Use F8/view controls to adjust the view

The Hide command is a temporary hide. When you close the view you will lose your settings. Hidden objects will also still print. The tool is used to aid in building the model and not for creating views that will be used in documentation.
The scope box is the correct method.

hi thanks all revit user in helping! however the scope box is hard to control especially the rotating part.... how can i make it easier? like when i try to rotate, the image became distorted. and someone talked about the scaling of the 3D model after placing the camera, how can i scale it?

Why would you want to rotate a sectional perspective? They are used a presentation drawings. If you want to use it for modelling just create a sectional isometric view as outlined previously.
The views can be scaled once placed on a sheet. Select the view and in the top bar you'll see a size come up, select this and then change the scale as required.
If its an isometric just change the scale of the actual view, 1:100, 1:50 etc..
HTH.

oh as i said earlier i wanted to capture a view from the 3D perspective at a good position and angle so that it show enough depth for mi to show the ceiling services running through a couple of rooms....however i couldnt get to that due to what i mentioned earlier, its either the angle is not right or it doesnt have the correct depth ( as in the dimishing point not far enough) so i need to do some adjustment and i had difficulties getting it correct.

On the topic of scale, it has been discovered that the scale factor for isometric drawings is incorrect in Revit 8.1. I think it's also wrong in version 8.
To correct the problem, you should set a custom scale for the view. The scale factor should be the intended scale factor divided by 1.225. You'll have to round off as the dialog only accepts whole numbers (integers).
As an example, if you intend to have an isometric at a scale of 1/4" = 1'-0" (1:4 you would create a custom scale of 1:39 (48/1.225 = 39.18 (~39)). 1/8" would be 1 8.
Happy scaling.

1. Go to a floor plan and make sure the crop view is set far back so that you can place the camera away from the building
2. Take your camera and place where you would like to see the view
3. On the view cube, right click and orientate to whichever section you have created to view
4. On the vie cube click the top view arrow
5. On the properties tab, check the section box so that its on
6. From there you can adjust the section box so that it cuts through where you want it
7. Align the view again as mentioned in point 3
8. Use the wheel to pan and zoom as needed
NOTE: Do not turn off the section box in the properties tab as this will reset everything, just hide it
