Also, can I be sure that I'm not moving the actual model with this? That would create serious collaboration issues. Thanks as always Using dependent views also employs the crop view, but I never thought of using it directly in the view itself (I hate being new to things). Dependent Views have a very specific use and should not be used for the simple reason of "creating a sub-view". Not sure why you suggest that a Dependent View is somehow the way to reorient the Plan, since you can reorient any Plan View. Click the Work Plan grid edge, make any adjustments in Properties and rotate it. In the Architecture Ribbon Tab, all the way to the right, set the Work Plane to "Show". You can also turn on the grid in a view and adjust the angle instead of reorienting the entire view. This is good for view orientations on the fly. In any Plan View, show the Crop Boundary, select the edge and simply rotate it to whatever angle you wish. Scope Boxes are intended to be used to apply these boundary and rotation properties to many views and the ability to adjust and maintain them in the future.Ģ.

Then, on any Plan View, in Properties you can apply the Scope Box and it'll reorient the View accordingly. Create a Scope Box around the area you want to focus on, select the Scope Box and rotate it to whatever angle you want. The object is constrained to a scope box that is not visible in the view. There are a couple of ways, both of which are equally easy and effective.ġ. The enhanced Rotate Project North tool in Revit 2016 now allows not only model.

Not much of a deal as I don't have alot of views, but still - is there a different way in which this "skewed-model-issue" can be resolved?Not sure why you suggest that a Dependent View is somehow the way to reorient the Plan, since you can reorient any Plan View. Only thing is that it creates a "sub-view" for each of your views. Dependent views is one way that ables me to rotate a view in order to work without tilting my head. Alot of the time arcitectural drawings have real world orientations that might look skewed on screen - even if the building itself is perfectly rectangular.
