Set the View Projection Mode
The ViewCube tool supports two view projection modes (Perspective and
Orthographic). Orthographic projection is also referred to as parallel
projection. Perspective projected views are calculated based on the distance
from a theoretical camera and target point. The shorter the distance between
the camera and the target point, the more distorted the perspective effect
appears; greater distances produce less distorted affects on the model.
Orthographic projected views display all the points of a model being
projected parallel to the screen.
Orthographic projection mode makes it easier to work with a model due to
all the edges of the model appearing as the same size, regardless of the distance
from the camera. Orthographic projection mode though, is not how you
commonly see objects in the real world. Objects in the real world are seen in
