Question : 10>

Create a camera-specific view or a 3D view in each room ( living, dining, bedroom). Based on the views create a new set of sheets starting A-501 (you can add as many sheets after, 502, 503.. n)to place the 3D view images. Produce the sheets as a part of project drafting.

Aim: Create a camera-specific view or a 3D view in each room ( living, dining, bedroom). Based on the views create a new set of sheets.

Tools Used: View, Sheet Selection, view sheet.

Procedure:

• After creating your 3D model in Revit, of course, you want to show off your model.
• In this post, we will discuss placing and fine-tuning our camera. And we will also discuss how to create a 3D section by controlling the section box.
• Placing of Camera, you can place a camera by activating it from your ribbon, View tab, Create panel.
• Click the small arrow near the 3D view, and click the camera button on the drop-down menu.
• Then you can define the camera by two clicks: the camera position and target position.
• After you define the camera, Revit will automatically open a new view. This view will show you what your camera sees. Mostly we need to modify the view.
• Make sure modify is active, click the view boundary. You will see the blue grips on the rectangle sides. You can resize the boundary by dragging the grip.
• You can fine-tune moving your camera around by holding [shift] + mid button.
• Bird Eye View, that’s how we can place the camera. Pretty easy, I guess.
• But sometimes we want to get the ‘wow effect’ by placing the camera at a high or low angle. Try to place another camera,
• but before you define the position, look at the options bar. We can define the camera height.

Result: Views obtained by placing camera in each rooms is placed in the template and edited the templete respectively as shown in the figure.
