¶ Function Overview
Adjust the model's orientation and position by rotating and translating it. This makes it easier to inspect the model, export it, or align it with the coordinate axes. For example, you can position the model with its bottom facing downward and its front facing forward.
¶ How to Use
¶ Rotate the Model by Dragging
Click and hold the rotation tool with the left mouse button, then drag the rotation handle to the desired angle.

These settings control how the model is displayed, including orthographic view, perspective view, grid visibility, and view reset. They affect only how the model is displayed and do not modify the model itself.
| Menu Option | Description | Illustration |
|---|---|---|
| Orthographic | Displays the model using parallel projection, so the model's apparent size does not change with its distance from the viewpoint. Suitable for inspecting model outlines, geometry, and the relative positions of different parts. | .png) |
| Perspective | Uses perspective projection, making objects appear larger when closer and smaller when farther away. Suitable for viewing the model's overall appearance and spatial structure. | .jpeg) |
| Grid | Shows or hides the reference grid in the viewport to help you assess the model's position, orientation, and spatial relationships. | / |
| Reset View | Restores the viewport to its default view. Use this option when you want to return to the default view after rotating, panning, or zooming. | / |
Usage Tip: Use orthographic view to inspect the model's shape and outlines. Switch to perspective view to examine its overall 3D appearance. You can switch between the two modes at any time as needed.
