ViewCube

While working with models, the ViewCube can help you orient views.

Change View to a Preset Orientation

Click one of the faces, edges, or corners on the ViewCube.

Change View to an Adjacent Face

Click one of the triangles displayed near the edge of the ViewCube tool.

Roll a Face

Click one of the roll arrows displayed on top, and to the right of, the ViewCube.

The left roll arrow rotates the view 90 degrees counterclockwise, while the right roll arrow rotates the view 90 degrees clockwise.

Orbit the Model

1. Click the ViewCube and hold down the left mouse button.
2. Drag in the direction that you want to orbit the model.

When you drag or click the ViewCube tool, the view of the model reorients around a pivot point. The pivot point is displayed at the center of the object.
