Preset Views Explained
| View | Key | Purpose | Technical Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front | 1 | Primary elevation | Negative Z-axis |
| Left | 3 | Side profile | Positive X-axis |
| Top | 5 | Bird's eye view | Negative Y-axis |
| Bottom | 6 | Underside inspection | Positive Y-axis |
| Right | 4 | Right profile | Negative X-axis |
| Rear | 2 | Rear elevation | Positive Z-axis |
Pro Tip: Professional OBJ review for 3D graphics and modeling typically follows Front → Right → Top view sequence.
Advanced Features
Projection Modes
| Mode | Characteristics | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Perspective | Natural 3D depth | General OBJ viewing, presentations |
| Orthographic | No perspective distortion | Precise OBJ measurements, technical analysis |
Up Vector Management
| Configuration | Common Use | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|
| Y-Up | Architectural 3D models | When 3D model appears "laying down" |
| Z-Up | Mechanical OBJ parts | Standard engineering/3D graphics and modeling convention |
| Flip Function | Quick orientation correction | Resolving upside-down 3D models |
Navigation Modes
| Mode | Characteristics | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|
| Free Navigation | Unrestricted camera movement | Exploration, presentation |
| Fixed Navigation | Controlled movement | Systematic inspection, technical review |
