Topics in this section
About 3D Views
Use perspective and orthographic 3D views to visualize the model and to add and modify building elements.
About 3D View Backgrounds
Enhance a perspective or orthographic 3D view by adding a background: specify a sky color, gradient colors, or an image.
About Levels in 3D Views
When working in a 3D view, you can display and modify levels for the model.
Video: Work in a Perspective View
When working in a 3D orthographic or perspective view, you can add and modify building elements to develop and refine the design.
Create an Orthographic 3D View
Orthographic 3D views show the building model in a 3D view where all components are the same size regardless of the camera’s distance.
Create a Perspective 3D View
The Perspective option controls whether a 3D view displays as perspective instead of orthographic.
Work in a 3D View
When working in a 3D orthographic or perspective view, you can add and modify building elements to develop and refine the design.
Work with Levels in 3D Views
Display and modify levels when working in a perspective view or an orthographic view.
Displaced Views
Displaced views can be used to illustrate the relationship that model elements have to the model as a whole.
