Rotating a view

Does anyone know of a view to rotate an RCP say... 15 degrees instead of 90 degrees?

Draw a scope box, rotate it, and assign it to the view.

I thought "scope boxes" only works with floor plans?

That's not correct.

Ok, that was cryptic. Care to elaborate?

Your assumption regarding scope boxes applications is incorrect. Try it with RCP and see.

Perhaps I'm missing something with the question. You can rotate any plan or RCP by simply selecting the Crop Region of the view, use the rotate tool, and type in any angle. Keep in mind, you are rotating the view and not the elements, so you need to rotate the opposite direction of what you think.

 

Using a scope box works too, but seems like extra steps to me.

You are correct.  If a view is set to Project North then you can rotate its scope region directly and save a step.

 

But if it set to True North, then you have to change it to Project North first before you rotate the scope region, at which point you may have to recalculate the rotation delta again.  Or you can just assign it to a rotated scope box and be done.

Tried that starting from a floor plan, then converted to RCP. Yet it made no difference. The RCP looked no different than the floor plan. The other choice would have been to change the project north. And that would have created problems for the other RCPs. At the end, we gave up and used a smaller scale.

You cannot convert one View type to another, i.e. Floor plan to RCP, section to elevation, etc. Rotating Project North is obviously the wrong approach because it affects the entire project, not just one or some views. You could certainly rotate any RCP views the same as with Floor Plans. Perhaps that view had been associated with a scope box already and it prevented you from rotating it.

See, in our models, the option to associate a view with a scope box is "greyed out" for all RCPs. That is why we could not get it to work. We can do floor alright.

Are RCPs using a view template?  Are they True North?

No template, true north,

You cannot rotate true north views. Must change them to project north first.

That is not a solution. It's not even a workaround. It's giving up. I hope you try to do it the right way as described @ToanDN after you marked this as the solution.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

Project north or true north, it didn't work. Scope boxes just don't work with RCPs.

I would ask you to delete all sensitive data and share the file but you would probably say no.

It would take a while to clean up the file. But, we can post it.

Go to a 3d view and delete all model. Delete all Sheets and all views except for the RCPs.
