View-specific
extent control
NOTE
When you drag the filled circle, the open circle remains. This shows where the model (3D)
extent is. If you want to return to that extent, right-click the datum, and click Reset to 3D Extents.
If you drag a datum extent outside the crop boundary of the view, the control on the extent is always in
view-specific (2D) mode. You also cannot propagate its extents to other views.
If you move the 2D control of a datum on top of a 3D control, the 2D control becomes a 3D control.
Maximizing 3D Model Extents
A datum may be of a certain size, such that it is not visible in all views of the model. You can change the
3D model extents to intersect the boundary of the model, so that the datum will be visible in more views.
In the following example, the grid is not visible in the 2 section views of the model, because its 3D model
extents do not intersect either section view plane.
To maximize 3D model extents
1
Select the datum, and right-click it.
2
From the shortcut menu, click Maximize 3D Extents.
The grid is resized to the boundary of the model.
