6.2. Building 3D models

The program offers several possibilities to create a 3D model of the designed building. You can display all elements of the model on every floor, or just certain floors or selected elements or a selected part of the model.

The command can be activated from:

• the View menu - 2D -> 3D submenu.

• the Status bar - Build 3D model icon, and

• the F3, Alt +F3, and Alt + T keyboard shortcuts.

When you create new 3D models, the program opens a new 3D view window to display the 3D model of the floor plan.

The model is shown in the Show hidden element display mode. This means that every element is displayed with hidden lines, but the elements do not hide the edges of other elements. You can change settings with the 3D toolbar icons.

The 3D view follows the changes made on the original drawing.
