Set 2-D View

Form:  Set 2D View

It is sometimes easier to build a model while working in 2D elevation or plan views. Use the View menu > Set 2D View command to access the Set 2D View form and set the active window to a 2D View.

Note: It is also possible to choose a plane by clicking one of the 2D view buttons  ,  and then using the up or down arrow buttons    to move to an appropriate plane.

1. Click the View menu > Set 2D View command to access the Set 2D View form.

2. Select the X-Y, X-Z or Y-Z plane. Fill in the edit box with the appropriate Z, Y or X coordinate.

3. Select the View Direction:  Front or Back Face.

4. Click OK.

Use rubber band zoom to zoom into a window. Clicking once anywhere in the window will restore the original view.

Example:  Use of this command is demonstrated in Problem S and Problem U.
