View Plane Orientation

This dialog is produced by several actions, including:

Clicking inside a 3D window and pressing <2>

As two points define a straight line, the only other information required to determine a view-plane is the View Orientation.

Field Details:

The options are:

Horizontal: creates a horizontal view-plane and rotates the view to position the defined line along the horizontal axis of the screen.

Vertical: creates a vertical view-plane along the line and perpendicular to the plane of the screen. The view-plane is observed from either the right or left depending on the order the two end-points of the line are selected.

Perpendicular: creates a view-plane along the slope of the line and rotates the view to position the defined line along the vertical axis of the screen.

OK: Applies the new view-plane.
