Ability to lock plan rotation

Such a great idea! 

 

Struggled with this myself, every time I wanted to retain the true orientation of the project.  Essentially we need an intuitive and easy way to jump between 'project north' and 'true north' - unless there is, and I haven't managed to understand it yet. 

 

The plan rotation works great as a tool - but yes! it totally needs the ability to get locked!

 

Hope this gets implemented soon.

@Christiaan - Just commented on the aggravations Rotated Plan is, with our Workflow, in your Working Plane Views mode post

 

We don't NOT rotate the plan, yet VW assumes that we have and it makes for added effort to use a Work Around when Standard Views do not act like Standard View

 

A LOCK would be great - We would want it to be in the Rotated Plan Off position

Not intended as a trick question.  I rarely (as in never. not needed for what I normally work on) use rotated plan unless I am demoing it for someone. So If Zero already does this great. I just wanted to make sure that the performance was the same between the two primary keyboard shortcuts to get to Top/Plan. I have VW locked up on something else right now so I can't test at this moment.

Cmd - 5 is the most secure way of returning to unrotated view.

 

Rotated views should always be defined as the option, imho.

For CMD-5 to take you to Rotated Top/Plan you would already need to be in a rotated view. Tap CMD-5 when Plan Rotation is at zero degrees and you go straight to Top/Plan. If you're in a rotated view and want to go to unrotated Top/Plan, then you just tap CMD-5 twice. It couldn't make more sense.

This script should work ...

 

VRestore('111');

 

It brings up the Saved View 111

@Christiaan Create the plugin.  Create the rotate view.  Call it 'Project North' or 'True North' depending if you are rotating to for from Trye North, and give it the command option cmd 5...

 

VRestore('Project North');

 

Couldn't be easier.

But then I can't use CMD-5 to get to Top/Plan, which is the beauty of this solution:

@Kyle Sutton So my question in this thread... (Ability to lock plan rotation)

 

How do we keep Rotated Plan from happening at all? 

     We would like to Lock the Plan Rotation at Zero

ie: We want Standard Views to always show the view in real world terms

    Top Plan is Top Pan - NOT rotated  / Custom / etcetera

 

 

Any advice is appreciated

 

Peter

 Use fundamentals! 😂
