Navigation and switching views
In 2D drafting, the whole drawing exists on one plane, so the drawing area view is normal to that plane, and the only navigation tools that are needed are panning and zooming. In 3D modeling, you will need to create details that may exist on any angle of the three main axes, and even creating a single part or detail of a model may require switching back and forth between different viewing angles. Therefore, an understanding of navigation and switching between different views is essential for efficient 3D modeling. So, in this section, we will present the basic navigation and view switching tools.
Basic navigation
The navigation tools used in the normal 2D drafting mode are still usable when in 3D modeling. Starting with zooming, the mouse wheel can be used to zoom in and zoom out. The zoom and zoom extend commands can also be used, which work the same as in the 2D drafting mode. For more details on these commands, please refer to Chapter 2, Basic...
