Activating and Creating A 3D Viewport
When you configure a display using 3D objects, you work in a viewport on the GraphWorX64 work area. The viewport is a sub-area opens up when working with a 3D object in a 2D space, or when working in a 3D view. You can have multiple viewports in your work area.
Activating a 3D viewport in a 2D space
You can activate a viewport for any 3D object in a 2D work area:
-
Add a 3D object to your 2D GraphWorX64 work area. For example, drag a 3D object from the Symbols Library onto the 2D work surface.
-
Double-click the 3D object to activate the viewport. A viewport box surrounds the object. The box shows the boundaries of the 3D viewport. The Home ribbon changes, too; when you work in the viewport, the ribbon changes to a specialized 3D ribbon.
Creating a 3D Viewport
-
Select the Home ribbon in the GraphWorx64.
-
Click the in the Shapes section.
-
Hold down the left mouse button, then click the GraphWorX64 work area, drag the cursor and release the mouse button to draw a 3D view inside an active viewport. The GraphWorX64 ribbon switches to the 3D ribbon. You can now add 3D objects and configure them using the features on the 3D tabs.
