Applying perspective to 3D views

Applying perspective to 3D views

- [Instructor] Now that we've got the basics of the 3D AutoCAD interface in place, we can start thinking about some of the other aspects of the interface as well. So in the previous video, we opened up the simple 3D design dot DWG file. And as you can see, I've got it on the screen in front of us and we've got our interface setup We've got our layers up here in the quick access toolbar. We've got our workspace up here in the quick access toolbar. Now you'll notice when we were moving around in the previous video, the background in the drawing area changed color from a dark gray almost a black to this pale gray that I've got in place now. Now the reason for that is that it goes from what they call a perspective to parallel view and this is preset in the views that you are using in 3D in AutoCAD. So if I go up here to Southwest isometric on the view control can you see we've got parallel or perspective? If I click on…
