Using the 3D view

Using the 3D view

When you select the 3D View tab, the 3D view is displayed. For example:

 

Area	Description
	The 3D View tab.
	The 3D View toolbar.
	The composite relief.
	The background.
	The colour Palette.

When working with an independent model, the 3D view displays:

• the composite relief resulting from all visible relief layers.
• calculated toolpaths.
• the material block.
• toolpath simulations.
• the artwork on the currently active bitmap layer.
• the artwork on all visible vector layers.
• triangle meshes.

When working in a project, the 3D view can also display:

• the root  Assembly.
•  assemblies.
•  replica meshes.
•  gems.

All of the visible items in the Project Tree are shown in the 3D view when a project is first opened.

The availability of these features is license dependent.
