Adjust the 3D Model View

When you are working in Trimble Connect for Browser's 3D Viewer, you can adjust how 3D models are shown.

You can either fit models or objects to the 3D model view, change the perspective of the 3D model view, or reset all selections, markups, clip planes, and measurements in the 3D model view.

Set the predefined view to be shown in 3D view. The different predefined Views available are:
  • Default (Axon) view
  • Top view
  • Front view
  • Left view
  • Back view
  • Right view
  • Bottom view

Perspective and Orthogonal Mode Toggle:

In perspective, distant objects appear smaller than close ones. In orthogonal, the object's size is retained independently of the distance to the view point. You cannot navigate through objects in the orthogonal mode.

Fit Objects to the 3D Model View

In Trimble Connect for Browser's 3D Viewer, follow these steps to fit objects to the 3D model view.

To fit objects to view:
  1. Open your project in Trimble Connect for Browser.
  2. Navigate to the 3D Viewer.
    For more information, see Accessing the 3D Viewer.
  3. Once you are inside the Viewer, select the objects that you want to fit to view.
    Once the objects are selected, the Selection Toolbar will display at the bottom of the screen.
  4. On the toolbar, select Fit to View.

Change the Model View

You can change the model view in the 3D viewer.

To change the model view:
  1. Open your project in Trimble Connect for Browser.
  2. Navigate to the 3D Viewer.
    For more information, see Accessing the 3D Viewer.
  3. Once you are inside the Viewer, on the toolbar, open the Model Views menu.
  4. Select one of the model views.

Change the Model Perspective

In Trimble Connect for Browser's 3D Viewer, you can change the perspective of a model.

To change a model's perspective:
  1. Open your project in Trimble Connect for Browser.
  2. Navigate to the 3D Viewer.
    For more information, see Accessing the 3D Viewer.
  3. Once you are inside the Viewer, on the toolbar, select the Perspective/Orthogonal toggle.
    In perspective view, distant objects appear smaller than close ones. In orthogonal, the object's size is retained independently of the distance to the view point. You cannot navigate through objects in the orthogonal mode.

Reset the 3D View

When you reset a model in the 3D viewer, it will reset all selections, object colors, visibility, markups, clip planes, and measurements.

To reset the 3D view:
  1. Open your project in Trimble Connect for Browser.
  2. Navigate to the 3D Viewer.
    For more information, see Accessing the 3D Viewer.
  3. Once you are inside the Viewer, when you are ready to reset the view, on the toolbar, select Reset Model.
