Cutaway 3D views
- As you work on your project to create lots of views for various purposes, but perhaps one of the most useful types of views is a 3-D view which can give valuable insight into how the building design is shaping up over the course of the project. When you first create a 3-D view, the default 3-D view is oriented from the southeast and is just a basic overall axonometric view of the building model. But you can modify that 3-D view in a variety of ways, and one of the most useful things you can do is create cutaway 3-D views. These are 3-D views where you're actually cutting into the model, and seeing inside of it, but still maintaining an axonometric type of view. There's a couple different ways we can do that, and I'm gonna start of with the manual way that you could achieve this effect. So I'm here in my default 3-D view, and all you have to do is click the small default 3-D view icon on your toolbar to get here, and it will create a view similar to what you see here on my screen…
