Setting a 3D View

The Set 3D View command sets a precise 3D view at a specified viewing angle, height, and perspective. Normally, the command is executed from 2D Top/Plan view; however, the command can also set a 3D view from any of VectorWorks’ 3D projection modes.

To set a 3D view:

1.	Select View > Set 3D View.

2.	Click and draw a line to indicate the view direction; the line starting point indicates the viewer position and the line end point indicates the point the viewer is looking towards (look toward point).

The Set 3D View dialog box opens.

3.	Specify the 3D view criteria.

 

Parameter	Description
Viewer Height	Specifies the height of the viewer at the start point of the drawn line
Look Toward Height	Specifies the height of the view destination at the end point of the drawn line
Perspective	Select the desired perspective, or use the current setting to keep the perspective unchanged

4.	Click OK. The 3D view is adjusted as specified.
