Is it possible to ask Autocad developper team how they managed to make element snapping and implement them in Revit? Simple but highly useful and may be easier as it is already an Autodesk knowledge.
@rakotoarisoa_m : Don't try to use Autocad ways in Revit. Revit is above and beyond Object Snap tracking or Point Tracking. Revit does not track points, it tracks planes (reference planes) and lines (or curves in general).
In Revit you don't use control points manually, you (can) define reference planes and parameters ( distances, angles, etc) to help control object tracking automatically. You can link parameters to one another using various conditions (equality, scale, rotation, mirror, etc), so you can control multiple aspects (parameters) in a cascaded style.
In your case, you could create 2 reference planes or 2 intersecting lines, and snap to their intersection. Reference planes seems much better option to me, as you can define distance (offset) parameters linked to those planes, and when you move those planes all objects linked to the planes by the offset parameter will move too accordingly.
You can find similar parametric tools in Autocad in the Parametric menu. But it works only in dynamic blocks in Autocad. Which kinda defeat the purpose. Parametric in Autocad looks like a crippled version of parameters in Revit.
The fact is i don't always want to put a reference plane when i draw, when you draw a simple detail line you don't really want it to be dynamic, if so you could lock it with constraints but when you want to make simple drawings it is very helpful.
Indeed, 2D detail lines is not the strongest feature of Revit. I just don't understand why Autodesk doesn't make a mini-Autocad module incorporated into the Revit interface. Something like a Revit extension.
