Viewport toolbar

You can find the viewport toolbar at the bottom of the viewport. When you work with multiple viewports, each viewport has its own viewport toolbar.

You cannot see the viewport toolbar until you point to the lower border of the viewport, guaranteeing as large a workspace as possible.

Tip: You can also show the viewport toolbar all the time. To do this, open the View menu, point to Toolbars and click Show Viewport toolbar.
To move the viewport toolbar to the top of the viewport, open the View menu, point to Toolbars and click Viewport Toolbar at the Top.

The viewport toolbar contains the following tools:

Function			Use

			Left area:
	View flyout menu		You can use this tool to choose between plan view and any of the predefined standard views.
	Zoom All		You can use this tool to select the display scale so that you can see all the elements in the visible files. Note: If you have loaded a view by using Save, Load View, you can see this view only.
	Zoom Section		You can use this tool to zoom in on a section. To do this, enclose the elements you want to zoom in a selection rectangle.
	Previous View		You can use this tool to restore the previous view or display scale (if you had selected a different view or scale before you selected the current setting). Up to a total of 50 view settings are saved temporarily.
	Next View		You can use this tool to restore the next view or display scale (if you have already selected a subsequent view or scale). Up to a total of 50 view settings are saved temporarily.
	Save, Load View		You can use this tool to save the current view under a name of your choice or retrieve a view you saved beforehand.
	3D View		You can use this tool to display 3D models in three-dimensional space in a perspective view by entering an eye point (observer) and a target point. You can choose between parallel projection and central projection for the perspective view. You can also use this tool to create a view based on the building structure.
	perspective		You can use this tool to switch between parallel projection and central projection. Select this tool to display the model in central projection.
	Element Selection		You can use this tool to select the design entities you want to display in the active viewport. The program temporarily hides all the other design entities.
	Drawing File Selection		You can use this tool to temporarily hide drawing files that are currently visible in the active viewport.
or	Always on Top		You can use this tool to place the viewport so that it is always on top (that is, in front of) the other ones. You can only use this tool if you have not selected the Connected option and the viewport is not maximized.
			Right area:
		Exposure (only for the Animation and RTRender view types)	You can use this box to control the brightness in viewports of the Animation or RTRender view type. You can enter a value between -25 and 25. Important! This setting only changes the way elements look in the active viewport. It has no effect on rendering.
		Section Display	You can use this tool to display your design in an architectural section for which you have already defined the Clipping Path.
		Display Scale	You can use this tool to select the scale for displaying the model on the screen. The display scale governs the ratio between the model on the screen and its real-life dimensions. The scale therefore changes automatically if you change the size of sections on the screen. You can see the current display scale on the viewport toolbar in the lower border of a viewport.
		View Type	You can use this list box to select one of the predefined view types (Wireframe, Hidden, Animation, Sketch or RTRender) for the active viewport. Of course, you can also select a view type you defined yourself. Click to modify various settings of the view types. The settings apply to all the viewports that use this view type. Click New view type to define and save your own view types. When Layout Editor is open, you can switch between Design view and Print view (= preview of resulting printout). The Print view displays the layout as it looks in the printout. Depending on the printer set, the printout is in color or monochrome. The elements you have selected in the Elements to print area and the parameters you have defined on the Print profile tab of the Print Layouts tool define what's on your screen. Show/Hide provides only a few options. Note: So that you can work quickly and easily, the print view also displays elements that are outside the page, the margins of the page and, if selected, the printable area of the output device although these items are not included in the final printout. The same applies to the selection color and the detection color. These colors are used in the print view so that you can see better what you are doing. But the Print Layouts tool uses the colors you have assigned. The Design view displays the elements of the layout as you created them, taking into account any superordinate pen, line or color. By using the options of Show/Hide, you can specify what you want to display and how. The settings in the Print Layouts tool are not taken into account.
