Scottb Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I built my plan at an angle. now I can't get a cross section that is 90 degrees to my building. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL-inc Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Sorry if I'm not fully getting this but can't you just take the camera view from 90 degrees off the plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javatom Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Just shoot a new cross section at any angle you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Carrick Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Scott, Create a new "Cross Section/Elevation". You can set the direction as you are placing the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottb Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Its not that easy. you can't pick what angles it moves. I even turned on my angle snap grid. but that only moves in 10 degrees increments. What If I only want to move it 2 degrees? I can't seem to do custom angels with this. Thanks for the help.

Scottb Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 how do you change your angle snap grid to move by only 2 degrees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Turn off angle snaps, draw a construction line perpendicular to the wanted view direction, now shoot a camera shot along that construction line that is perpendicular to the view.... the camera should snap to the construction line.

Joe_Carrick Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Defaults, Plan Allowed Angles - Additional Angles Scott's method works perfectly as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Draw a CAD line roughly perpendicular to the elevation you want to shoot. Select the line and use the Align>Perpendicular command to align the line perpendicular to the elevation. Turn on your Snaps, enter the Cross Section/Elevation command and snap the camera to the CAD line. EDIT: Scott beat me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshall Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 2 minutes ago, Alaskan_Son said: OOB hotkey for Make Parallel/Perpendicular Got it, thanks. I assume that applies to the cad line and not the camera. The parallel/perpendicular does not work for camera. It does work for the line that you may want to use to get the direction of the camera correct. Joey posted one of those cryptic posts that someone can spend 10 minutes figuring out, thanks Joey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
