I was given a microstation challenge and I'm stumped. Given a 3D view of arbitrary rotation, how do I rotate that view around global Z axis for certain degree? Special case would be starting at 1 isometric view, a 90 degree rotation around global Z axis would produce the other isometric views.
Best regards,

MicroStation has about the worst view controls of any CAD software I've ever used. Why no a view rotation control cube? I challenge everyone at Bentley to find me a worse view controls UI. I mean look at SolidWorks, MeshMixer, or any AutoDesk product... we know you do some things extremely well but why deny us these small but meaningful quality of life improvements? This is the type of thing that makes me want to hunt for another software package. The view controls are fundamental to efficiency. Do better

Actually that option has been available since MicroStation/J (1998) and probably earlier versions.

I think that you could also use the Place Section Callout tool to generate a view that is aligned with the selected edge (vertices) whilst preserving the Z- direction.
The Place Section Callout tool works with Accudraw and you would place the Section Callout in a Top view.
After placing the Section Callout, you can use the Apply View button from the Menubar (Camera Position should be set).
Once placed, the SC can be moved and rotated to align with another face as needed using Accudraw + Snaps.
yeah, not that "V8i" unfortunately, we are still on SS4 in some part of the business.
I Agree.
