The 3D Workspace
The viewport, display controls, and rendering settings that shape how you see and work with your model.
The 3D workspace is where you build and inspect your model. The viewport fills the center of the screen. The toolbar runs along the top and gives you access to display controls, layer toggles, and workspace settings.
The pages in this section cover the controls that change how you see your model — not the model itself.
In This Section
- Navigating the Viewport — orbit, zoom, pan, and reset
- Rendering Modes — Default, Studio, and Present
- Display Units — centimeters, millimeters, or inches
- Tessellation Resolution — mesh density for performance vs. precision
- Layers and Display — grid, points, edges, X-Ray, and wireframe
- Measure Tools — distance, wall thickness, and part dimensions
- Navigating the Viewport Orbit, zoom, and pan the 3D viewport — and reset the view to the default perspective.
- Rendering Modes Switch between Default, Studio, and Present rendering modes to control how your model looks in the viewport.
- Display Units Set whether numeric values display in centimeters, millimeters, or inches throughout the application.
- Tessellation Resolution Control mesh density for modeling performance vs. geometric precision — reduce during editing, increase before export.
- Layers and Display Toggle the grid, reference points, edge lines, X-Ray, and wireframe rendering using the Layers toolbar.
- Measure Tools Check distances, wall thickness and part dimensions in the viewport.
