work planes

 

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?

I'm not sure what you are talking about. "Limiting workflow to workplanes in 3d views?"  Huh?  Can you elaborate?   

 

...also what do you when you say "can't move, draw, dimension, or snap beyond workplanes".  Workplanes (e.g. Ref. Lines, Datums) have no extents.  That is, they go on to infinity.

 I can't draw, or dim or snap unless it's parallel to workplane.

Probably because Revit is designed for documenting buildings and majority of buildings are just boxes. 

I don’t think there is limitation, you just need to understand Revit a bit more. I do most of my modeling in 3D view and find it easier than switching between floor plans and elevations.
