Align views in a sheet based on common geometry like walls

Align views in a sheet based on common geometry like walls

So currently I am required to draw a reference plane as it the only element which seems to have a snap point to align views like  a section and plan.

 

Chatgpt was advising to use guide grid but this snaps to the guide grid lines and not geometry like walls. and if trying to align a view with another again cannot select walls or other similar modeled geometry.

 

So the idea is to be able to use align tool to align a plan and section/elevation on a sheet or use snap points on modeled geometry etc.

 

Lastly @kimberly_fuhrman-jones tried searching but couldn't find anything remotely describing what I'm after. If another idea exists please combine.

@wr.marshall, the Saved Positions tool in 2026+...  would that address what you're looking to be able to do?  Or is it just that you want to be able to grab some object within the view (corner of a wall for instance) and move the view on the sheet using that point?  You mentioned aligning.  So you want to be able to align the view to a grid line on the sheet via the bottom of a wall (section) or side of a wall (plan) for instance.  Do I got that right?  Plans of same scale will align with each other on a sheet.

as you put it use a point of a wall in section and put it it on the same point in plan provided section and plan same scale.

 

Sometimes find views don't align or it seems to pick up other references causing misalignment of section and plan
