Navigation in 3D View

The 3D view can be controlled using the operational controls (buttons) within the 3D view window as well as with the mouse.

Click Total View (top-right corner of the 3D view) to reset the view perspective to the initial state (zoom to extents). The current view perspective is stored by clicking the Store button (top-right corner of the 3D view).

To recall a stored view perspective, select the stored view from the drop-down list. Delete a previously stored, view perspective by clicking Delete. All stored view perspectives are written to file after closing the 3D view or the current document. This file is stored in the result folder of the corresponding document and is automatically reloaded when the 3D view is activated.
