Most of your work in solidThinking is performed in the Modeling Views.
By default, three orthographic views describe the 3D scene as seen from the Top, Front, and Right side. One perspective view displays the 3D scene as seen from the active Camera.
It is possible to choose what is displayed in each view by just clicking the view name on the left of the title bar. Six different orthographic views and any defined perspective camera are possible. You could have, for example, four perspective views using four different cameras instead of three orthographic and one perspective.
The origin of the Global Coordinate system is represented by the intersection of the white lines at the center of each orthographic view.
Each orthographic modeling view has its own plane shown on the bottom left of every view:
Top and Bottom views use a XY plane.
Front and Rear use a XZ plane.
Right and Left use a YZ plane.
A view can be enlarged to fill all the space inside the main window by simply double-clicking its title bar. Double click it again to restore it to its normal size.
Only one view at a time can accept mouse input. The active view has the title bar drawn with the standard color used by the system for active windows. A view can be activated by clicking either inside it, its title bar, or by pressing the shortcut (Win / Mac) while the mouse is positioned anywhere in the view to be activated.
The area displayed in the view and various parameters can be controlled by using the small icons on the right side of any view title bar or keyboard shortcuts in combination with the right mouse button.
