Main toolbar

This section describes the commands that are available in the main toolbar in Model view.

Main Toolbar

Toggle full screen

Views eShare in full screen mode or closes full screen mode.

Previous/next camera position

When you are navigating in the 3D model, the Previous and Next Camera Position buttons allow you to revisit the viewing locations where you were standing still.

Flip model upside down

Toggles the 3D view upside down and back to normal.

Enable/disable clip box

Enables or disables clip box.

Show/hide control box

Shows or hides control box when clip box is enabled.

Measure

Activates or deactivates the measuring tool. See Measure.

Measure settings

Opens a menu for specifying measuring options. See Measure settings.

Show coordinates under cursor

Toggles the displaying of coordinates when the cursor is next to a point it can snap to.

The coordinates are shown in named coordinates, if available, and otherwise in Cartesian coordinates. Named coordinates are available in models that have been published with Plant Modeller version 6.0 or newer.

Take snapshot image

Saves a snapshot image of the currently displayed view on the clipboard.

Undo/redo last visibility change

The Undo/Redo Last Visibility Change buttons undo or redo recent object visibility changes that you have made using either the model tree or the context menu.

You cannot undo or redo object transparency changes.

Visualization control

Opens a menu for configuring the appearance of the 3D view. See Visualization control.

Coordinate systems

Opens a menu, where you can select the coordinate system that is used to view the 3D model. These local coordinates can be defined in Plant Modeller. If the Plant Modeller project, where the EBM is published from has local coordinates, all of them are shown in the published EBMs regardless of which coordinate system the published model is using.

When selecting a coordinate system, all geometry is transformed to the selected coordinate system and all the coordinates shown are in the selected coordinate system like Measure, Coordinate tool, Coordinate display and Clip Box.

Models without local coordinates: If the 3D model has reference planes defined, the coordinate system called "modelname coordinates" has these reference coordinates defined.

Scenes

Opens a menu of predefined scenes that have been specified in the application that published the model, or defined for the project or by the user. See Scenes.
