Zoom and Pan

Zooming and panning is available on all views of the model (e.g., 2D views such as the Opening Section View, and 3D views such as the 3D Wedge View).

The zoom and pan options are:

• Zoom Extents : Reset the model to its default size and location in the view.
• Zoom In : Zoom in to 90 % of the original area.
• Zoom Out : Zoom out to 111% of the original area.
• Pan : Translate the model left, right, up or down within the view.

The zoom and pan options are available in the toolbar, the Zoom sub-menu of the View menu, and through various keyboard and mouse shortcuts, as described below.

NOTE: On the 3D Wedge View (and other 3D views), you can zoom individual panes of the view (e.g., the Perspective view or the Top view), or you can zoom all panes of the view together. To zoom a specific pane, you must first click in the pane to make it the active pane within the view.
