Detail View Cuboid/Sphere

Views > New > Detail > Detail view Cuboid/Sphere

Use this function to define detail views. Here the detail is not determined by a sketch but by defining a cuboid or a sphere.

You can switch between both modes in the Detail view dialogue window.

Please note:

The suggested scale is determined by the scale of the original view and the setting in the Configuration Editor at System settings > Visualization > Views > Scale for new detail views (like initial view or next higher scale).
The detail view is linked to the original view.
For the detail view, the projection of the original view is used.
Information about texts and annotations is not available here!
To change the detail view Cuboid / Sphere select the Change detail view function in the Views Ribbon or in the context menu for views. Afterwards the corresponding dialogue window is displayed.
