Every year I hold out hope that we might see an improvement to 3D perspective modeling. There are some requests in the Idea board and then a handful of people replying that Revit has perspective modeling. It does not. The "camera" solution provided is a incomprehensibly flawed. We just saw the release of 2020 and there is still no way to fly through the building to a connection of a wall to a ceiling and edit the extents of either to accomplish the desired design. You could set up a camera, angle it just right, sort of pan - but not too far or you are flung 20 miles outside your model. Or you could try to do it in an orthogonal view and crop a box to the right place - but you can't really tell until you change the crop box it is in the right place. ArchiCAD has had perspective modeling for years.
We design 3D architecture for our 3D reality - we need to be able to see it and manipulate it in 3D. If you are an old-school drafter that says we don't need 3D, I am sorry, but you are just wrong. Buildings are no longer designed as 2D elevation compositions. They haven't been for a long time. As an industry we probably spend millions on the inefficiency of navigating around this software issue.
We use enscape now so that we can fly through buildings and see where the geometry doesn't pan out - in ways that you can't see in a revit view. Even if you did create a view to see one specific condition - setting up a view takes way more time than flying through a model. With enscape now, we can take down places that have issues and then go BACK to Revit to correct it. But this is an extremely inefficient work-around.
Please don't ignore this. The recent effort to tie-together various Autodesk platforms is worthless if designers can't design. Design should not be beholden to the tools we are forced to use by industry monopoly. Please assign a team to this for the 2021 release. Please please please.
