Table 1 describes the functions of the “View” and “Standard views” toolbar icons.

Table 1

Icon (name) Function
Front view Full-screen model display in Z-Y plane (X-axis pointed away from screen)
Back view Full-screen model display in Z-Y plane (X-axis pointed toward screen)
Left-side view Full-screen model display in X-Y plane (Z-axis pointed away from screen)
Right-side view Full-screen model display in X-Y plane (Z-axis pointed toward screen)
Top view Full-screen model display in Z-X plane (Y-axis pointed toward screen)
Bottom view Full-screen model display in Z-X plane (Y-axis pointed away from screen)
Isometric view Full-screen isometric model display
Fit to the screen size Full-screen model display in current view
Zoom in Zoom in using the left mouse button
Zoom in/zoom out Zoom in/out by moving the cursor up or down using the left mouse button
Rotate around axis Rotate model around axis by holding down the left mouse button and moving the cursor
Rotate around selected point Rotate model around selected point by holding down the left mouse button and moving the cursor
Move Move model using the left mouse button
Cancel view Return to previous view (before rotation, zoom, moving)
Repeat view Repeat cancelled view change (rotation, zoom, moving)
Solid Display model as a solid, 3D object
Gradient Display model in gradient (semitransparent) mode
Beam Display model as transparent beam
Display filling Display of calculated filling as translucent volume
Insulation and lining view Display of created volumes of insulation and lining
Display service plaforms Display or hide sites existing in the model
Colors by materials Highlighting of components by color according to the “Materials using” panel
Perspective view Display model in perspective view
Dimensions Display dimensions of model components
Elevation labels Display elevation labels of shells, nozzles and platforms, stiffening rings
Product level marks Display product level marks by cavities
Labels Display model with component labels
Origin point Display origin point of solid model (relating to it, barycenters of components are calculated)
Fine generation of model The solid model is created in detail that can retard the work in case your computer is too slow
Accelerated model generation Some components of solid model are created more simply
No model rebuild Model rebuilding is blocked.
Regenerate model Forced rebuilding of the model with the elimination of artifacts left over from previous incomplete rebuilds
Moving down of the component in the current branch (Ctrl-) Changing position of the selected component in the model hierarchy relating to the components of the same level. This option is available only for daughter components (nozzles, rings, etc.)
Moving up of the component in the current branch (Ctrl+­)

For quick move , zoom  and rotation  of the model, you can also use left, right and middle mouse buttons, respectively, while pressing the "Ctrl" key. To rotate the model around a selected point , you can use the right mouse buttonwhile pressing the "Ctrl" and"Shift" keys together.

When rotating the model around a selected point , X and Y coordinates (in the coordinate system of the screen) are determined by the mouse cursor position, while the Z coordinate ("depth") is determined by the current depth of non-transparent model component under the mouse cursor. If no non-transparent components are present under the mouse cursor, Z coordinate is set as equal to model's average depth.
