Set View

<Options>

The SetView command changes the view to a standard view (top, bottom, left, right, front, back, perspective, or two-point perspective) of the current construction plane or the world coordinate system.

Steps

Specify a command line option.

Command-line options
CPlane	Sets the active view (camera, target, etc.) to a plan view based on one of Rhino's pre-defined construction planes (Back, Bottom, Front, Left, Right, and Top). The view's projection is not modified, and this option does not update the view's construction plane. Since there is no definition for a Perspective construction plane, there is no Perspective option. The following illustrations show views of the Right construction plane. Top Sets the view to look at the Top of the current construction plane. Bottom Sets the view to look at the bottom of the current construction plane. Front Sets the view to look at the Front of the current construction plane. Back Sets the view to look at the back of the current construction plane. Right Sets the view to look at the Right of the current construction plane. Left Sets the view to look at the Left of the current construction plane.
World	Sets the active view (camera, target, etc.) to one of Rhino's pre-defined view orientations (Back, Bottom, Front, Left, Right, Top, and Perspective). Also, the view's projection is modified to match the pre-defined view orientation. In addition to setting the view orientation, the World options also modify the active view's construction plane, setting it to the corresponding, pre-defined construction plane. The exception to this is the Perspective option, which sets only the view orientation and projection to Rhino's pre-defined Perspective view and does not modify the view's construction plane. Top Sets the view to look at the Top of the world view. Bottom Sets the view to look at the Bottom of the world view. Front Sets the view to look at the Front of the world view. Back Sets the view to look at the Back of the world view. Right Sets the view to look at the Right of the world view. Left Sets the view to look at the Left of the world view. Perspective Sets the view to look at a world view in perspective mode. Two Point Perspective Sets the view to look at a world view in two-point perspective mode.

Command-line options

CPlane

Sets the active view (camera, target, etc.) to a plan view based on one of Rhino's pre-defined construction planes (Back, Bottom, Front, Left, Right, and Top). The view's projection is not modified, and this option does not update the view's construction plane. Since there is no definition for a Perspective construction plane, there is no Perspective option. The following illustrations show views of the Right construction plane.

Top

Sets the view to look at the Top of the current construction plane.

Bottom

Sets the view to look at the bottom of the current construction plane.

Front

Sets the view to look at the Front of the current construction plane.

Back

Sets the view to look at the back of the current construction plane.

Right

Sets the view to look at the Right of the current construction plane.

Left

Sets the view to look at the Left of the current construction plane.

World

Sets the active view (camera, target, etc.) to one of Rhino's pre-defined view orientations (Back, Bottom, Front, Left, Right, Top, and Perspective). Also, the view's projection is modified to match the pre-defined view orientation.

In addition to setting the view orientation, the World options also modify the active view's construction plane, setting it to the corresponding, pre-defined construction plane. The exception to this is the Perspective option, which sets only the view orientation and projection to Rhino's pre-defined Perspective view and does not modify the view's construction plane.
