Smart Isometrics provides several options for manipulating the view of your data as it appears in the Detail window. For example, you can adjust the view to display the entire model, or you can focus on specific parts of the model. You can also increase or decrease the viewing area. Decreasing causes everything within the window to appear larger, while increasing causes everything within the window to appear smaller.
3D View control
A collection of 3D View commands allows you to display the model as a scaled, real-world 3D graphical representation, according to the list of available piping and components displayed in the Pipeline Explorer, and then rotate the 3D display in a specified direction. Using the commands on the 3D View toolbar, you can manipulate the view and easily orient the model.

Additional 3D View commands are available in the View menu that allow you to show or hide any of the files that are currently opened. You
can click View > 3D View > Copy to place a copy of the current 3D View window contents on the Clipboard. Clicking View > 3D View > Print, allows you to print the contents of the 3D View window to a specified printer. You can also toggle between a symbolic or rendered
view of the current model.

The software automatically updates the display of the pipeline model in the 3D View window whenever an inline component is dimensionally moved or when pipe or an assembly is dynamically dimensioned. For more information about dynamic dimensions, see Dimension the Pipeline.
