Define a 3D View in a Drawing
You can set a model view by defining the location of the view point and viewing direction in the floor plan. The view is a perspective projection.
- Activate the drawing window.

Note:
- The default values for the view point height, inclination and viewing angle are displayed
in prompts on the status bar. You can change these default values as follows:
- Before selecting the location of the view point, you can select its height (Z
coordinate) and inclination (°) by clicking the Z button. Enter
the values in the text box. Enter the Z coordinate relative to the floor base height.
- Before selecting the viewing direction, you can select the viewing angle (°) by
clicking the Angle button. Type the value in the text box.
- Before selecting the location of the view point, you can select its height (Z
coordinate) and inclination (°) by clicking the Z button. Enter
the values in the text box. Enter the Z coordinate relative to the floor base height.
- You can save the view in the building's document browser.
- You can later activate the view by double-clicking the view point label in the building's
document browser. The views are saved under
