Amapi 3D

2 The Views and Planes

Amapi 3D offers you a full-screen perspective display of your models.
The ease with which you can move around in Amapi 3D – rotating around objects, zooming in and out on specific details – simulates the natural movements of an artist working on his/her creation.
(See chapter User Manual/Tools/Control Panel/ The Views.)

The ruled axes - X (red), Y (green), Z (blue) - represent the main working planes. They help you to orient yourself in space and to place and size objects precisely. You can easily and at any time change the step size used: just press the “+” and “-” keys.
The X, Y and Z axes give you an indication of your current viewpoint in the scene and of the corresponding working plane. This working plane is always the one that is most perpendicular to the current viewpoint.

Amapi 3D allows you to save different viewpoints as cameras. You can view the scene from any one of those custom viewpoints.

You will also be able to display an unlimited number of viewer windows. They will display different user-defined viewpoints of the current scene.
