	ElementId viewFamilyTypeId
)
Visual Basic
Public Shared Function CreateIsometric ( _
	document As Document, _
	viewFamilyTypeId As ElementId _
) As View3D
Visual C++
public:
static View3D^ CreateIsometric(
	Document^ document, 
	ElementId^ viewFamilyTypeId
)

Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..Document
The document to which the new View3D will be added.
viewFamilyTypeId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..ElementId
The id of the ViewFamilyType which will be used by the new View3D. The type needs to be a ThreeDimensional ViewType.

Return Value

The new isometric View3D.

Remarks

The new View3D will receive a unique view name. The view will be oriented in the same position as the default 3D view.

Examples

CopyVB.NET
' Find a 3D view type
Dim collector1 As New FilteredElementCollector(document)
collector1 = collector1.OfClass(GetType(ViewFamilyType))
Dim viewFamilyTypes As IEnumerable(Of ViewFamilyType)

viewFamilyTypes = From elem In collector1 _
                  Let vftype = TryCast(elem, ViewFamilyType) _
                  Where vftype.ViewFamily = ViewFamily.ThreeDimensional _
                  Select vftype
' Create a new View3D
Dim view3D__1 As View3D = View3D.CreateIsometric(document, viewFamilyTypes.First().Id)
If view3D__1 IsNot Nothing Then
    ' By default, the 3D view uses a default orientation.
    ' Change the orientation by creating and setting a ViewOrientation3D
    Dim eye As New XYZ(10, 10, 10)
    Dim up As New XYZ(0, 1, 1)
    Dim forward As New XYZ(0, 1, -1)
    Dim viewOrientation3D As New ViewOrientation3D(eye, up, forward)
    view3D__1.SetOrientation(viewOrientation3D)
End If
