The View tab offers further visualization options.

The isometric view is preconfigured with a 45° vertical and horizontal angle. The configuration of these angles can be changed via Settings > Default > Scene > Change orientation or those of the current scene by clicking the background under Properties > Scene properties > Alignment (see chapter View and Edit Properties of Selected Objects).

In the Zoom area, the Focus function allows you to center a selection (see chapter Object Selection and Saving Selections) in the Model Area. This function is useful to focus on a node selected in the structure (e.g. sub assembly). This function is also available in the context menu (right click).

The functions Render mode and Graphic effects adjust the scene of the current model. You can, for example, display the wireframe without fill, switch to monochrome rendering of the model in the Illustration mode or click the Opaque button to temporarily remove the transparency of all geometries. In other words: these are simply display effects, which have no effect on an export.

You can also use the option Shadow to add a shadow thrown by the part. The shadow behavior can be influenced via Properties > Scene properties > Shadow. Some effects will require a recalculation of the shadow. This can be done in one pass by exiting the shadow and then reactivating it, or continuously by activating the setting Real-time calculation.

Under Show panes you can hide or show panes such as the Settings pane. You can also reset the entire user interface to its default settings; this action will not affect settings.
