View face

Hi All,

This sounds like a stupid question, but if I'd like to view a particular angled face of an object head-on, how do I do that?



I can't seem to see it in any of the view ports and can't quite get it to be perfectly head on in 3D view.

Many thanks!
Gunter

HI gunter

Perhaps using CPlane...

you can also re-orient your part

Hi gunter, yes like chri writes above you can use View > CPlane to set the construction plane to align with the face.

When you do that the Top/Front/Right views will be oriented around that plane (unless you uncheck "Orient ortho views").

When you want to reset back to the default world top/front/right views you can right click on View > CPlane.
