Camera Bar

The Camera Bar is located at the bottom center of the editor. It serves as an important tool for view switching, observation mode control, and presentation view management.

With the Camera Bar, you can quickly switch between 2D and 3D views, adjust the camera projection type, enable automatic scene rotation, and create preset camera viewpoints for demonstrations and animation playback.

This feature is widely used for:

  • Reviewing overall scene layout

  • Demonstrating process workflows

  • Explaining product structures

  • Managing presentation viewpoints


3D/2D View Switch

Function Overview

This button allows quick switching between 3D View and 2D View.

  • 3D View Enables free rotation, zooming, and observation of spatial relationships between models.

  • 2D View Provides a top-down perspective of the scene layout.

The 2D view is particularly useful for:

  • Plan layout inspection

  • Tube routing planning

  • Equipment spacing verification

  • Site layout presentation

How to Use?

  • Click the 3D/2D icon in the Camera Bar

  • Shortcut: V


Camera Type Switch (Orthographic / Perspective)

Function Overview

This feature switches between two camera projection modes:

Perspective Camera

  • Simulates real-world perspective

  • Distant objects appear smaller

  • Suitable for presentations, demonstrations, and storytelling

Orthographic Camera

  • No perspective distortion

  • Object sizes remain consistent regardless of distance

  • Suitable for engineering layout inspection and spatial analysis

How to Use?

  • Click the Perspective / Orthographic icon in the Camera Bar

  • Shortcut: C


Auto Rotation

Function Overview

Auto Rotation allows the scene to rotate continuously around its center, creating a dynamic viewing experience.

Common use cases include:

  • Factory overview presentations

  • Looping scene playback

  • Overall scene preview

  • Product showcase animations

Once enabled, the camera rotates automatically at the specified speed. Users can stop the rotation at any time.

Configurable Options

  • Enable / Disable Auto Rotation

  • Rotation Speed Controls how fast the scene rotates (default: 1x)


Custom Camera Views

Function Overview

Custom Camera Views allow you to save multiple fixed viewpoints, referred to as Camera View Key Points.

Each key point records the following information:

  • Camera position

  • Viewing angle

  • Zoom distance

  • Projection mode

After creating these viewpoints, you can quickly switch between them using number shortcuts(1~9) or by clicking the corresponding numbered icons.

This feature is especially useful for:

  • Step-by-step process explanations

  • Product structure demonstrations

  • Quick navigation across multiple areas

  • Coordinated playback with animation plans
