3D Views

Create perspective and orthographic 3D views, and enhance them by adding a background, adjusting the camera position or extents, or changing view properties.

Perspective 3D Views

Perspective 3D views show the building model in a 3D view where components that are further away appear smaller, and components that are closer appear larger.

You can select elements in a perspective view and modify their type and instance properties. When you create or view a perspective 3D view, the View Control Bar indicates that the view is a perspective view.

Example

Orthographic 3D Views

Orthographic 3D views show the building model in a 3D view where all components are the same size regardless of the camera’s distance.
