Change the Projection

When displaying 3D objects on a 2D plane, you can use perspective projection or orthographic projection.

Tip: Click in the view controls and choose Clip model on zoom in to allow zooming inside and through the model. When the opitin is turned off, zooming is limited to the outside surface of the model.

Perspective Projection

Perspective projection shows distant objects as smaller and close objects as larger to provide greater realism.

To switch to perspective projection, click in the view controls and choose Perspective from the menu.


Orthographic Projection

Orthographic projection is useful when you want to create scale drawings with accurate measurements and proportions.

To switch to orthographic projection, click in the view controls and choose Orthographic from the menu.
