To understand how each axis divides the 3D model, select an axis and then drag the Offset slider back and forth.
Observe the changes in the embedded 3D model.
Flip Reverses the cross-section. For example, if the top half of the model is cut off, click Flip to display the top half and
cut off the bottom half.
Tilt sliders Determine the angles between the cutting plane and the axes. Drag the sliders left or right, or change the
percentages.
Save Section View Opens the View Properties dialog box in which you can select the display properties to save with the
view. After you select the properties to save, the cross-sectional view is added to the list of views in the 3D toolbar and
the Model Tree. The saved view is given a default name, SectionView[n].
Display properties that you choose not to save revert to the setting of the previous view. For example, if you do not save
the background color, the cross-section view retains the background color of the previously displayed view.
Change camera properties
Camera properties define the precise angle and positioning for a view of an object. Camera properties make up a
camera view, which can be used both between views and between files.
1 On the 3D toolbar, click the Camera Properties icon .
If you don’t see the icon, click the arrow next to the navigation tool on the left side of the 3D toolbar.
2 In the Camera Properties dialog box, click Save As to name a new camera view, or select an existing view from the
menu.
3 Move the Camera Properties dialog box so that you can see the 3D model. Select a camera alignment:
• Select Target to align the camera properties only to the target position.
• Select Camera And Target to align the camera properties to both the camera direction and the target position.
4 Select the type of alignment:
Select Model After you select this option, click a 3D model in the document. The Camera Properties dialog box
shows the current camera position.
• If Target is selected, the new position of the camera target is the center of the selected model.
• If Camera And Target is selected, the position of the camera target is the center of the selected model. The camera
is aligned to the selected model.
Select Face After you select this option, click a face of the 3D model in the document. The Camera Properties dialog
box shows the current camera position.
• If Target is selected, the new position of the camera target is the center of the selected face.
• If Camera And Target is selected, the position of the camera target is the center of the selected face. The camera
is aligned to this face.
Select 3 Points After you select this option, select three points on the same or different models in the document.
The Camera Properties dialog box shows the current camera position.
• If Target is selected, the new position of the camera target is the center of the three selected points.
• If Camera and Target are selected, the camera target is the center of the three selected points. The camera position
is aligned to the plan composed by the three selected points.
