53. The Projection Modes There are two projection modes in Trimble Access In the Isometric us projection mode the distance from the viewing camera origin to displayed objects has no impact on how large an object appears In the Perspective projection mode the most unmistakable characteristic is foreshortening the further an object from the viewing camera the smaller it appears in the final screen image Note The Isometric projection mode is the default mode n that projection mode a scale is displayed at the lower left corner of the View 3D Setting a Projection Mode To Set a Projection Mode 1 Tap the Projection Mode button to swap from Isometric to Perspective and vice versa 2 Orlong tap the Projection Mode button A list of hidden options expands inline 3 Then tap the Projection Mode you want to select from the list Projects The Standard Views Trimble Access provides six pre programmed standard viewing positions These views are defined as below X Y Z represent respectively the three axes of the active coordinate frame g Top Looking parallel to Z axis Y axis bottom to top X axis left to right Qi Bottom Looking parallel to Z axis Y axis top to bottom X axis left to right q Front Looking parallel to Y axis Z axis bottom to top X axis left to right Q Back Looking parallel to Y axis Z axis bottom to top X axis right to left Gi Left Looking parallel to X a
