viewports again.
3. Click the upper-right viewport, labeled Front. Notice that the border of the Front view-

area. Notice how you can quickly expand the view of a viewport to see more detail.

6. Place your cursor at the intersection of the four viewports until it changes to a cross-
ing arrow cursor. Click and drag to resize all viewports simultaneously, as shown in
Figure 1.16. You can also place the cursor between just two viewports to resize the view-
ports in only one direction.
7. Right-click on the border between two viewports and choose Reset Layout from the con-
text menu to return to the default layout, as shown in Figure 1.17.
You’ve just seen how you can display a single viewport or expand the graphic area into mul-
tiple viewports showing the Top, Front, Left, and Perspective viewports. Several other views
and viewport arrangements are available, as you’ll see later in this chapter.
