General

You can switch between normal view and cutaway view using the button located in the top-right corner.

**Difference between Normal view and Cutaway view**

In the Normal view, the camera rotation center is positioned between the near and far planes.
In the Cutaway view, the camera rotation center remains aligned with the near plane at all times

Near and far planes

The near and far planes define the depth range that you want to be visible in your scene. Everything you see in your scene falls within this depth range.

The near plane determines the minimum depth that is displayed, while the far plane represents the maximum depth that you will see in your scene.

Normal View

The Normal view is the default way of moving around in 3D models.

The center of rotation is indicated by the crosshair
Rotating the camera is accomplished by holding down the left-mouse-button
The zoom level can be adjusted with the scroll-wheel
Camera movement is achieved with the right-mouse-button
The rotation point can be swiftly relocated by double-clicking on the desired position

Cutaway View

The Cutaway view is an innovative viewing mode akin to a clipping box view.

This mode allows you to conveniently adjust the near and far plane, making it perfect for swiftly navigating through buildings and generating cross-sections.

Adjust both the near and far plane simultaneously

Click and hold the scroll-wheel
Move the mouse up and down

Move the far plane

Press and hold the CTRL key
Click and hold down the scroll-wheel
Move the mouse up and down
