Various navigation tools are available to help you navigate around your model and to change it's orientation and position, in order to obtain the best view possible.
The ViewCube tool is a persistent, clickable and draggable interface used to switch between standard and isometric views of a model.
The navigation bar is a user interface element from which you can access both unified and product-specific navigation tools. Unified navigation tools (such as Autodesk® ViewCube® and SteeringWheels) are those that can be found across many Autodesk products. Product-specific navigation tools are unique to a product. The navigation bar floats over and along one of the sides of the current model's window.
SteeringWheels, also known as wheels, are tracking menus that follow your cursor, and from which you can access different 2D and 3D navigation tools.
A cutting plane enables you to visually remove part of the model to reveal the internal structure of the part. This is useful when reviewing results at different locations through the model.
The Dynamic Help panel provides an explanation of the result that is currently displayed, including what the result measures and what you can learn from it.
This panel is used to display explanatory text associated with the selected result. Notes can be used to convey specific information that may aid the analysis of the displayed result.
Many of the actions that can be performed in the program can be selected quickly by right-clicking the item on which you want to perform the action and selecting an entry in the context menu that appears.
Toolbars provide you with fast, visual access to commands.
The model is displayed in a window when you open a study. Multiple windows can be opened simultaneously, and managing them is an important aspect of effective modeling.
