Okay, in the standard 3D view, my eye elevations have risen inexplicably in two occasions now, in separate projects.  I laughed it off last time and deleted the view, but now that I see it becoming a trend, i want a real solution. 

How would I go about preventing this from happening in the future, or how could I reset the eye elevation of the default 3D view camera?

In the attached picture you can see the symptoms of this hight (which is actually half-useful) and a ridiculous number which--if I panned to top-down, is twenty two thousand miles above my model.  AKA geosyncronous orbit.

Could you be moving this accidentally?  If you are in a view that shows the camera and you select it while you have drag and drop on, you could be moving it.

Revit arch 2009, by the way -- I'm fairly sure I haven't moved the camera -- not even sure how I would have gone about selecting the default 3D view, never seen it represented as a camera before--But I've been moving objects in plan view, primarily.

Is this maybe something to do with you units settings? The actual 3d view dosent seem to be that far away.

-----------------------------------

I'd rather be riding at whistler. or highland. thats good too.

My unit setting seem to be fine--

And as an update, my eye elevation was at 4000 feet when I reopened the project this morning, and now, it's past the MOON.  300,000 miles from my project.  There isn't any way to constrain the camera?  I haven't been doing anything that could cause this--normal spinning, panning... is this the point where I call up autodesk and complain?  

 

zoom extents zooms to my sitwork, and that's it.  There's nothing else haywire or on vacation from where I put it except the location of the 3D view camera, which is flying around like a drunken UFO, being no help at all to my project.

I think duplicating your 3D view will lock this.

You do know that you can control this using a camera view?

Having the same problem in Revit 2016 right now.  My eye elevation got up to 175 million feet and all my 3D views are oddly transparent.  Anyone ever find a solution to this?

I stumbled upon this issue several times, recently I found a solution: use the view cube and press an orientation. 

After this the eye elevation wont extend to astronomic numbers after orbiting, preventing the view from acting strange.
