Creating 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.

  1. Open an existing 3D or 2D site.
  2. Click Manage tabViews panelOrthographic.
  3. On the Options Bar, clear the Perspective option.
  4. Click once in the drawing area to place the camera, and click again to place the target point.

    5. An unnamed 3D view of the current project opens and displays in the Project Browser. If an unnamed view already exists in the project, the 3D tool opens the existing view.

    You can rename the default 3D view by right-clicking the view name in the Project Browser, and clicking Rename. Named 3D views are saved with the project. When you rename the default, unnamed 3D view, the next time you click the 3D tool, Vasari opens a new unnamed view.

    You can use a section box to limit the viewable portion of a 3D view.
