Task 1: Open a 3D View
- Open RAC_basic_sample_project.rvt from the supplied dataset.
- Open the default 3D view by using one of three methods:
- In the Project Browser, under 3D Views, double-click on {3D}.
- In the Quick Access Toolbar, click Default 3D View.
- In the ribbon, in the View tab>Create panel, click Default 3D View.
- In the Project Browser, right-click on {3D} and select Duplicate View>Duplicate. A new {3D} view displays in the Project Browser with Copy 1 at the end of the name.
- In the Project Browser, right-click on {3D} Copy 1 and rename it 3D- OUTSIDE VIEW.
Task 2: Create a Camera View
- In the Project Browser, open the Floor Plans: Site view.
- In the Quick Access Toolbar, expand the Default 3D View and select Camera.
- Click the lower-right side of the model for the eye position. Click at the back of the model to place the view target.
- The new camera view displays. There is also a new view in the Project Browser called 3D View 1.
- In Properties, in the Camera section, change the Project Mode to Orthographic.
