Show 3D Overlays: Turns all 3D overlays off, including Camera overlays, 3D View Tools,
Compass, Inset View, 3D Grid, and 3D Scene Icons.
Note: You can also press Command-Option-/.
3D View Tools: Turns the Camera menu and 3D View tools on and off.
Compass: Turns the 3D Compass on and off. Using red, green, and blue axes, the
compass shows your current orientation in 3D space. The red axis is X (horizontal), the
green axis is Y (vertical), and the blue axis is Z (depth).
When you hold the pointer over the 3D Compass, it changes to a 3D View Selector.
Click any of the colored view icons, such as Front, Left, Right, Perspective, and so on to
switch to that view. The Canvas animates as it changes to the new view. For more
information on working with the Compass and the different views,
Motion Supplemental Documentation PDF.
Inset View: Turns the Inset view on and off. When enabled, a temporary window
appears in the lower-right corner of the Canvas displaying a Active Camera or
Perspective view of your project that helps you stay oriented as you move objects in 3D
space. You can change the size of the Inset view, as well as control whether the Inset
view appears on transform changes, on all changes, or manually.
