With all the great things that Revit has to offer, creating views is one its most powerful tools. We use all the views for our documentation, but sometimes Revit provides tools that give us the ability to kick it up a notch. Axonometric views are nothing new to designs, but the ability to create them is usually limited to those with time and patience(something we usually don't have enough of). Revit uses Sections and referencing tools that allows for these type of views to be created seamlessly. I am a visual learner which is why anything with a video is always good for me. Have a look at this AVI and you too can create an axonometric view that will WOW, any Revit non believer. I know the video is small, but the key here is:
- Copying the default 3D view and renaming it to Axonometric view
- Create a new Section of the building: Rename to Axo-section
- Go to the New 3D view.(Make sure you click an empty space in the view window)
- Select from View pulldown menu the "Orient" tool then "Orient to View"
- This is where you select the Section created "Axo-section"
- Once in the new view you can orbit as if in 3D perspective
- Voila!!!!!! Axonometric Section.
