Isometric Camera Views

[JiAngelo]

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the angle of the automatic isometric views generated for the 8 locations?  (both Top and Bottom - Front-Right, Front-Left, Rear-Right, & Rear-Left views - the buttons are located under the 3D Menu.)

 

The current angle appears to be about 45 degrees above looking down and I'm guessing about 15 degrees above is the views I actually use  (meaning the 8 buttons are useless unless I can pre-set the angle to something I'd actually use. 

 

Thanks.

or, just hold the left mouse key and rotate the view as needed

There is probably a default somewhere , but I just use a mnual camera and rotate as needed.

By definition an Isometric view is at 45 deg. You can save out various camera views with altered values but since there are not locks on cameras it is going to be very easy to move it out of those values.

Actually, an isometric view is always 30 deg. A cabinet view can be 45 deg. most of the time in drafting. Check Oblique projections. If my memory serves, the Cavalier view is foreshortened in depth.

Nice, Jim. Now I remember why I've held on to my 30-60-90 triangles for all these years.

Ooops. it is the Axonometric that is 45 deg.
