Reorient the View of a Model with ViewCube
ViewCube is used to reorient the current view of a model. You can reorient
the view of a model with the ViewCube tool by clicking pre-defined areas to
set a preset view current, click and drag to freely change the view angle of the
model, and define and restore the Home view.
Reorient the Current View
The ViewCube tool provides twenty-six defined parts to click and change the
current view of a model. The twenty-six defined parts are categorized into
three groups: corner, edge, and face. Of the twenty-six defined parts, six of
the parts 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 tool.
