Video: Work with Uncropped Perspective Views

Uncrop a perspective view to more easily work with the model in one view.

This video demonstrates the following:

  1. Turn off the crop on a perspective view.
  2. Make edits in a perspective view.
  3. Place the perspective view on a sheet.

Transcript

To create a perspective view of a model, you place a camera in a view. By default, a camera view is a cropped perspective. You can use navigation controls, but the model elements are cut off at the crop edge of the view.

To remove the crop region from the view, on the Properties palette, clear the check mark for Crop View, or use the toggle on the View Control Bar. Without the crop region, you can more freely navigate the view.

In an uncropped perspective view, you can edit elements without needing to refer to other views. You can also add new elements to the model.

You cannot place an uncropped view on a sheet. The crop region must be turned on first, or it will be turned on as you place it on a sheet.

After placing the view on a sheet, you can modify the crop of the view and then hide the crop region's visibility. This strategy gives the appearance of an uncropped perspective view on the sheet.

Use uncropped perspective views to streamline the modeling process, so you don't need to refer to other views while modeling.
