Navigate in 2D and 3D

The 2D plan view​

The 2D plan view

The editor opens in the 2D plan view. Three gestures cover everything:

  • Zoom: roll the mouse wheel. The zoom is centered on the cursor.
  • Pan: hold Shift and drag.
  • Fit: press F to frame the whole drawing (also available as Zoom extents in the View tab).

A reminder of these shortcuts sits in the bottom right corner of the drawing area.

The 3D view​

The 3D view of the same model

Click the 3D button in the quick access toolbar, or in View > Navigation. The plan is rebuilt in three dimensions from the object data: walls rise to their real height, doors and windows cut their openings.

  • Orbit: drag with the mouse.
  • Zoom: roll the wheel.
  • Pan: hold Shift and drag.

The same button, now labeled 2D, brings you back to the plan view. Your 2D zoom and position are preserved.

Follow the cursor​

The status bar at the bottom shows the live coordinates of the cursor (X and Y in the plan view, plus Z in 3D). Coordinates are expressed in the project unit, meters by default.
