Fix Duplicate Sheets That Contain Perspective Views Bug

[colmDG4AB]

When a sheet is duplicated with perspective views, Revit 2022.1 does not save new camera locations in the copied views.  See example below.

Original Sheet A100 to be copied.

Duplicated Sheet A101 with the camera position moved.

After saving model and closing and reopening the duplicated sheet A101's perspective view has reverted back to the original perspective camera location on sheet A100.

Hi, @colmDG4AB ,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I will have our team investigate further, and move this to the forums for support.

Until they issue an update, you need to lock all the copied 3d views generated using duplicating sheet method.

Hi, @colmDG4AB ,

Thanks for reporting this. We cannot reproduce this issue from our side. Please help to review my steps and see is there any difference with yours? Please offer detailed steps to reproduce this issue to figure it out~

1. Create a Perspective View 1 with camera and insert it to Sheet A001 Perspective
2. Change the camera location from floor plan for Perspective View 1. Check it was updated in the sheet A001 Perspective. 
3. Duplicate sheet A001 Perspective as A002 Perspective Copy 1 by->Duplicate  with Views->Duplicate with Detailing. It created the new view: Perspective View 1 Copy 1
4. Save and close Sheet A002 Perspective Copy 1. And reopen Sheet A002 Perspective Copy 1 again. 
5. Result: Noticed the Perspective View 1 Copy 1 displayed as the changed angle in the new sheet

Thanks a lot

At which step did you change the copied perspective view angle?

[colmDG4AB]

Hi. Between steps 3 and 4 on the duplicated view, you need to move the camera(I used the the paperplane fly command) save the model then completely close the model and reopen.  You will see that the duplicated camera location will revert back to the same location as original view on the original sheet.

I tried the new steps and still cannot reproduce the problem. Would you please help to make a video for that, so we can try to figure it out? And could you please try this just on the perspective view (not insert on sheet) by "Duplicate View" and see whether this issue could happen?

Thanks a lot!

[colmDG4AB]

The issue only occurs when I duplicate a sheet with a perspective. See video attached.

Hi @colmDG4AB

Thank you so much for the video! I can reproduce it now and noticed this will also happen for Duplicate View  command on Perspective views. We will investigate to fix it~

Cheers!

[colmDG4AB]

Great. Glad you understand. Just one more thing. Where can you actually report general bugs in Revit? This does not seem like the place for it.

[shengjun_du]

Kimberly had created a problem report to our develop team about this issue. It's on tracking now~ BTW. The root cause for this issue is because currently the perspective camera view angle cannot be saved when using fly command to changing it. We will figure out how to fix it~

Hi, @colmDG4AB ,

You can certainly submit a report here on the forums...our support teams monitor the forums and can provide additional support here. It may help other users with the same issue. 

You can also submit a support ticket at https://knowledge.autodesk.com/contact-support

If you are a part of our Preview Release (beta) there is an option to submit Problem Reports there as well.

Hope this helps!
