Reorient the View of a Model with the ViewCube

You can reorient the view of a model by restoring a preset view or drag the ViewCube, roll the current view
90 degrees, switch to an adjacent face view, define and restore the Front view, and define and restore the
Home view.
Reorient the Current View
You can reorient the current view of a model by clicking predefined areas on the ViewCube or dragging the
ViewCube.
The ViewCube provides twenty-six defined areas you can click to change the current view of a model. The
twenty-six defined areas are categorized into three groups: corner, edge, and face. Out of the twenty-six
defined areas, six of the areas represent standard orthogonal views of a model: top, bottom, front, back, left,
and right. Orthogonal views are set by clicking one of the faces on the ViewCube.
You use the other twenty defined areas to access angled views of a model. Clicking one of the corners on
the ViewCube reorients the current view of the model to a three-fourths view, based on a viewpoint defined
by three sides of the model. Clicking one of the edges reorients the view of the model to a three-fourths
view based on two sides of the model.
Clicking over a defined area on the ViewCube is not the only way to reorient the view of a model with the
ViewCube; you can click and drag the ViewCube. By clicking and dragging over the ViewCube you can
reorient the view of a model to a custom viewpoint other than one of the twenty-six predefined viewpoints
that are available.
NOTE When the Far Clipping parameter is active (either set to Clip without Line or Clip with Line), clicking Home,
an edge, face, or corner of the View Cube disables the Far Clipping parameter. You can use the Rewind tool to
return to a view where the Far Clipping parameter was active, or you can enable the property again through the
Element Properties dialog for the view. For more information on the Far Clipping parameter, see Cutting an
Elevation, Section, or Callout View by the Far Clip Plane on page 87.
