Create 3D views from cameras

The Create Camera Views command automatically generates 3D perspective views from your security camera elements in Revit. Each view is configured to match the camera’s position, orientation, and field of view settings, making it easy to visualize what each camera can see.

Before You Start: Configure Your Settings

In Revit, click the “Camera Settings” button in the RV Camera Planner section. The tool generates new 3D views based on the current settings you have here, so it’s important to configure key properties right before batch processing.
