Revit: Saving Field of View information for each Camera

I have a handful of saved views, and there are different FOV settings that need to be set for each view. Currently to print all these views the way I need them, I have to write into the name of the camera view which FOV it is, go to my Enscape setting, slide the FOV bar (rather than inputting the lens width), and then hit print, and then reslide it for each view and print them all independently.

I would like Enscape to figure out a way to record FOV metadata to the saved view so I can run the batch render command and it will know which FOV settings to use for each image. It doesn’t need to align with Revit’s FOV data, but if it is, that’s cool too.

It’s a request that has been voiced for a long time (not just in Revit).

The info is stored in keyframe positions - another long time request is that keyframe, scene and panorama positions be interchangeable.

@Gadget_1 that sounds like an issue regarding Walkthroughs/animations. What about still perspectives?

“Scenes” - as Damien would say; they are aware of the demand and it is on the agenda - when Enscape will have the ability to save this information within a scene is a good question and one that will be answered with the passage of time. :wink:

Sorry for replying so late - as of yet, the plan is to have FOV, among other settings, saved in the corresponding views with Enscape 2.7. While I cannot make any definite promises yet, I’ll still forward your feedback to our developers too. :slight_smile:

@Demian_Gutberlet That sounds good thanks. Lets just make sure there’s a way to change the FOV of a view once its been set. A management workflow of some kind to check all the FOVs being used across all project views.

That should also be possible just fine - I’ll forward your feedback too though. :slight_smile:

I recognized that in version 2.7 some settings are stored inside a view, for example environment lighting, but FOV. I do hope this request will be tackled in the next release.

Thanks a lot for your post - have you made sure that your settings are all properly linked? If that is given then it should work and also take the FoV into account. :slight_smile: And please also make sure that you’re using Enscape 2.7.1.

Thanks a lot for your prompt response. I am using Enscape 2.7.1. Getting views linked with presets used to be in my area of ignorance, now I have a good grasp of doing this. Thanks again!

Glad to hear that, you’re more than welcome!
