In hsCADCreator, entities can be rotated around each axis in a 2D or 3D plane separately, or all three simultaneously. The following tools facilitate viewing from different perspectives:

 

 

Using the Rotate View Tools:

 

       Activate a Rotate View Tool:

       Find one of the Rotate View Tool icons ssViewRotateEyeToolssViewRotateYToolssViewRotateXToolssViewRotateTool from the View Toolbar(color coded red) and highlight it. While highlighted Click on the tool.  The tool is now the active tool and ready for use.

 

Rotating the View:

There are four different tools that will allow rotation of the view.

 

1.  ssViewRotateEyeTool Rotate About Eye Vector Tool : The eye vector is that which approaches (or goes away from) the user's eye. This tool rotates entities about an axis in a circular motion (similar to a pinwheel twirling on a wall).

 

2.  ssViewRotateYTool Rotate About Vertical Vector Tool : This tool rotates entities around an up and down axis (similar to a tetherball circling an upright pole).

 

3.  ssViewRotateXTool Rotate About Horizontal Vector Tool : This tool rotates entities around a side to side axis (similar to a gymnast rotating about a high bar).

 

4.  ssViewRotateTool Rotate View 3D Tool : This tool rotates entities about all three axes simultaneously (like a skydiver rolling and tumbling in a free fall--any rotational movement is possible).
