Trimetric Planes
Reference TriadHelps orient you when viewing products in the work area. By default, the triad display is set to None. To display a chair or a camera in the triad, select it in the app preferences. Use the triad in the upper right corner of the work area to pick a plane for viewing a model. When you
hover over a side of the triad, the triad face is shaded. Click the highlighted
triad face and the triad and the model becomes normal to the selected plane. When
you click the same face successively, the view flips 180 degrees. Click any axis in
the triad and the component in the work area becomes normal to that axis. Click the arrow next to the triad to open a context toolbar with additional tools. Depending on your app,
context toolbar options vary.
Rotating Model Clockwise and Counter-ClockwiseWhen the triad is in an orthogonal view, a set of controls appear around the triad to enable
spinning the model 90 degrees clockwise or counter-clockwise.
Note:
The rotation arrows of the triad are visible when the triad is in the
Orthogonal view. When you rotate the model, the arrows disappear.
Exit Button StackingIf you have more than one active command running, the exit buttons stack in a menu at the
triad. If one command is active, that exit button is displayed. If multiple commands are active, one exit button displays with a menu. Click the triangle to display the other active commands.
Reference GeometryTo hide or show the reference geometry in the Design Manager, click Top , Front , or Right and select Hide from the context toolbar. Click View Filter to hide or show all the reference planes with one click. Callouts and HandlesCallouts, which appear in the work area when you select certain tools, let you change
values directly in the work area. Handles let you dynamically move and change
certain parameters within the work area. For more information
