Tool name Description Example


Isometric View
Displays the structure in the isometric view. The angle which defines isometric view is generally X = 30, Y = 30, Z = 0


Front View
Displays the structure as seen from the positive Z axis. When the global Y axis is vertical, this is the elevation view, as looking towards the negative direction of the Z-axis.


Back View
Displays the structure as seen from the negative Z axis. When the global Y axis is vertical, this is the elevation view, as seen looking towards the positive direction of the Z-axis.


Left View
Displays the structure as seen from the negative X axis. When the global Y axis is vertical, this is the side elevation, as seen looking towards the positive direction of the X-axis.


Right View
Displays the structure as seen from the positive X axis. When the global Y axis is vertical, this is the side elevation, as seen looking towards the negative direction of the X-axis.


Top View
Displays the structure as seen from the top looking down (positive Y axis). When the global Y axis is vertical, this is the plan view, as seen from the sky looking down.


Bottom View
Displays the structure as seen from the bottom looking up (negative Y axis). When the global Y axis is vertical, this is as if one is looking up skywards.
