To view or edit the numeric values for the x, y, and z position, rotation or field of view of the 3D camera, click the
arrow to the right of the Edit Camera tools to open the 3D Camera Settings.
Select Orthographic View to display the model in accurate scale view without any perspective distortion.
Change or create 3D camera views
❖ Do one of the following:
• Select a preset camera view of the model from the View menu.
• To add a custom view, place the 3D camera in the desired position using the Edit Camera tools, then click Save in
the options bar.
To return to the default camera view of the model, click the Return to default camera icon in the options bar while
the Edit Camera tools are selected.
Change lighting effects
You can apply different lighting effects to a 3D model such as daylight, interior light or colored light, or remove
lighting entirely to create a silhouette effect. The default lighting setting, Lights from File, displays the 3D model
using the lighting settings from the original file (created in a 3D authoring program).
❖ Click the Lighting and Appearance Settings icon and select a lighting mode from the pop-up palette.
Change rendering effects
The default render mode is solid. Modes such as wireframe, outline, or vertice reveal the underlying structure of the
model’s components. You can combine wireframe and solid rendering (Solid Wireframe mode), or adjust the trans-
parency of solid areas in the model (Transparent or Transparent Wireframe).
Render modes such as Solid Outline and Line Illustration allow you to adjust the number of structural lines that
appear in the model by adjusting the Crease Threshold setting. A crease or line, is formed when two polygons in a
model come together at a particular angle. If edges meet at an angle below the Crease Threshold setting (0-180), the
line they form is removed. At a setting of 0, the entire wireframe is displayed.
1 Click the Lighting and Appearance Settings icon and select a render mode from the pop-up palette.
Bounding Box Draws a box around each component part of the model with the minimal dimensions required to
contain that component.
Transparent Displays the model with adjustable opacity. Enter an Opacity value to change transparency from 0 to
100 percent.
Line Illustration Displays the model as a solid (unshaded) with overlaid outlines. Use Face Color to set the solid
color; Line Color to set the outline color.
Solid Outline Similar to Solid Wireframe mode, except decreasing the Crease Threshold gradually reduces the
wireframe to simple outlines.
Wireframe/Shaded Wireframe Displays the wireframe only, in the selected color or as a shaded grayscale.
Hidden Wireframe Displays or hides the wireframe view without any visible hidden surfaces. A similar effect can be
obtained using Solid Outline mode with the outline angle set to 0.
Vertices Displays all vertices or intersections of polygons that make up the wireframe model.
2 Set Line Color, Face Color, Opacity, and Crease Threshold as available for the selected render mode.
