12 – Using the 3D View and Layer View

The 3D View will show you the part that will be printed when you hit the

Print

button. The

Layer View is used to inspect how your part will be printed, one layer at a time.

The 3D View will allow you to view your model in pretty much any orientation you'd like.

The view orientation is controlled one of two ways.  You can select one of the movement icons
in conjunction with the left mouse button.  The first icon will reset the view. The second icon will
allow you to “free rotate” the model and build platform.  The
third icon will allow you to move the part and build platform left
and right, as well as up and down.  The fourth icon will allow
you to zoom in and out.

You can use the mouse alone as well. Holding down the left mouse button will allow you

to “free rotate” the model and bed. Holding down the mouse wheel will allow you to move left
and right as well as up and down. Spinning the mouse wheel will zoom in and out.
