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.

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.

Plan

The Plan command sets the active view aligned down toward the current construction plane at 0,0, and sets the viewport projection to parallel.
