    Measuring Basics of the 3d Viewer

    Customizing the Display

    Open the SIDEBAR menu and open the SCENE tab. Click on a listed SCENE. The display and rendering settings for this will be visible. Make changes to visualize. You cannot save these settings from the 3D Viewer but some of the settings can be published as part of the 3D Document. Document settings are available in 3D Publisher tool under the Document Tab.

    Camera and Target

    Open the SIDEBAR menu and open the SCENE tab. You will see something like this

    Camera Position:
    66.41, 2.58, 343.57
    Camera Target:
    66.07, -0.34, 342.00

    You can copy this text from the SIDEBAR menu and paste into the 3D Publisher Tool to parse for setting default camera and target positions for documents or annotations.
