Work with profile models in Profile Inspector

You can reset a profile model to its default position.

Rotate a profile model

You can rotate a model horizontally, vertically, or in all three dimensions.

  1. Click the Rotate icon .
  2. Do one of the following:
    • To rotate the model in three dimensions, click the model off center and drag.

    • To rotate the model around the horizontal axis, use the scroll wheel

    • To rotate the model around the vertical axis, press the Ctrl key and use the scroll wheel.

    • To rotate around the L axis, press the Shift key as you drag the model.

    Note: On Mac OS, Horizontal and Vertical scrolls on a mouse that supports these options rotate the model horizontally and vertically, respectively.

Zoom a profile model

You can zoom in and out of a profile model.

  1. Click the Zoom icon .
  2. Do one of the following:
    • To zoom in, click the model.

    • To zoom out, Alt+click (Windows) or Option+click (Mac OS).

    • To zoom a section of the model, drag to create a rectangular area.

    Note: To zoom without clicking the Zoom tool, press Ctrl+= or Ctrl+_ .

View an interior slice of a model

The Clip tool lets you pass an invisible vertical plane through the model from front to back, cutting away the portion it passed through. This creates a cutaway view of the model, which is useful when comparing two profiles.

  1. Click the Clip icon .
  2. The first time you use the Clip tool, click to reveal the clipping plane, and then drag up or down to make the clipping plane larger or smaller.
  3. After the first time you use the tool, you can do either of the following:
    • To display the clipping plane, click near the bottom of the modeling area and drag up. (You may have to do this several times before the clipping plane appears.)

    • To move the clipping plane out of the model, click in the modeling area and drag down.

Select points in a profile model

You can choose points to display their color coordinates in the Measurements area. Profile Inspector inverts the selected point's color to indicate that it is selected.

  1. Click the Select icon .
  2. Click the point that you want to select.
