Photo Match Tool

Photo Match Tool

photo match tool like sketchup has for the perspective window

I agree with you, Revit should have a tool like that or equivalent to the one in 3D Max to match the camera view to a photo on the background. It is obvious that architect and designers need that tool pretty often for presentations and some of us can not afford to rent or buy Revit and 3D Max at the same time, just to use that tool.

I would like to add my voice to this request. Camera matching is a required tool for anyone creating photomontages, and these are extremely important in architecture and related disciplines. Whilst I am able to switch over to 3ds max to do this, my students are not so fortunate because many (while proficient with Revit) are not proficient with 3ds max. Since almost all students these days are proficient with SketchUp, many end up falling back on it for camera matching, even though this creates huge problems for our final year students working on very large projects, for which SketchUp is completely inappropriate. Ability to set a focal length (or numerical field of view) would also be appreciated

Can't stress enough how useful this would be.

Please add this feature like in 3ds max!

I second the notion that a perspective match would be a crucial feature. Even if we had a simplified version of camera-matching where we establish vanishing points from perspective lines / horizon in an image, that would be a big improvement.

I totally agree, it is a crucial implementation that should not be missing in a professional software.

I would love to see this tool as well. I use it all the time in Sketchup, and am surprised/ disappointed  Revit doesn't have it.

Please add photomatch tool to revit.  Exporting to Sketchup seems counter productive.
