Multiple viewport windows

You can open as many viewports as necessary for a modeling task. You can create multiple viewports to examine your 3D data from different angles, or to view multiple scenarios side by side. To create a viewport, click Window > New Viewport from the main menu.

The following are the default viewports:

  • 3D View
  • Top View
  • Front View
  • Side View

Additional viewport types can be created and managed using the Window > New Camera and Manage Cameras options. Camera changes and rendering settings affect all viewports of the same type. To create two 3D viewports using different rendering modes, you need to create a new viewport type.
