Hello,

Our saved orthographic view is not getting back at the same position when we switch between the 3D views. Even when the view is linked to a visual preset.  
Furthermore after a rendering the view suddenly zooms out. Not sure why this is happening.  
Is this a known bug or do we need to tweak the enscape/revit settings?

I am using the latest Enscape update.

Best,

Twana

Have you tried to lock the view in Revit?

That did not work for me. A workaround is using perspective view and changing the FOV to 2-5%.

Unfortunately the orthographic view is inconsistent.

I think this is a bug, judging by the comments on the most recent thread in latest releases.

@spacezoom , I’m afraid at least currently this is known behaviour. I’ve already forwarded this to our dedicated product management team to see what we can do. In the meantime, we’ll have to ask you to stay tuned.

Yes, I have the same issue. We can not lock the orthographic views. They export to a different size everytime. We then link the files in an Adobe Presentation. So when we make changes to the orthographic view in Revit/Enscape.. and export it under the same name.. The linked file that gets updated will never come in correctly. Please work on fixing this soon if possible. I have wasted a lot of time trying to figure a workaround for this. Thank you.
