WHY ref plane can not be rorated in x/x/z axis?

it can be rorated in 2d not in 3d.

just called Autodesk about this today. i suggested being able to define a reference plane by 3 points as a start. regardless, i would welcome more flexibility in reference plane definition and editing.

Use a ref. line instead of a ref. plane, thats what they were designed for.

I agree, if they want the AutoCAD community to start using Revit then they
have to add in AutoCAD similarities for a lot of things. changing work plane
is one thing. I'm still having trouble setting the elevation view to a work
plan just to move something.

You might get better results by explaining what you are attempting to accomplish and why you can't do it now, as far as you know.

You can draw a reference plane in a plan view, change to an elevation view and rotate the reference plane in that view so it is no longer vertical.

A reference plane defines a flat plane, a flat plane can not be "3D"...it is 2D..it extends in two directions only. The objects that are created on it can be three dimensional but the plane is not.

To orient a view to a reference plane to use as a work plane it (the reference plane) must be named first. If you just draw one you can't use it to establish a workplane. Once named you can orient a 3D view to that plane and create objects on it.

I'm sure that if you explain what you want to do with Revit, you'll find that it can be done, you may just not know how yet.

Can't find what you're looking for? Ask the community or share your knowledge.
