Can anyone explain the point, if any, of limiting workflow to workplanes in 3d views? I understand that they can be useful in elevations, and sometimes as placeholders in 3d. Yet, in 3d the fact that you can't move, draw, dimension, or snap beyond workplanes seems ridiculous and limiting. Why, for instance, can't I just move the objects intuitively using snaps, like in Rhino? (The overall lack of snaps is itself an issue as well.)
I understand that Revit, like any software, can lack certain functionality, but in this case, it seems like it desperately wants to limit things to workplanes because it thinks it's a good idea. It adds redundant limitations. What idiot thought this was an ideal workflow?
