Spoolgen provides several options for manipulating the view of your data as it appears in the Graphics 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.

You can use the 3D View commands 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 specific direction. Additional 3D View commands allow you to manipulate the view orientation of the 3D model or toggle between a symbolic or rendered graphical representation. Finally, you can click View > 3D View > Copy to place a copy of the 3D model on the Clipboard, or click View > 3D View > Print to print the current 3D model to a specified printer.

The following commands are available on the View toolbar:

SPSPlgn ICON Fit View

Fit View displays the entire contents of the model in the display window.

Centre View on Selection moves the view point so that the selected object is centered in the display window.

SPIso ICON Fit View to Selection

Fit View to Selection zooms in on the selected pipe or component so that it fills the display window entirely.

Dynamically Zoom View

Zoom In/Out increases or decreases the display size of objects in the display window. You can zoom in to get a closer view of an object or zoom out to view more of the model at a reduced size. Click the left mouse button and drag the pointer upward in the window to increase the view of an object as though you were moving closer to it. Drag the pointer downward in the window to reduce the view as though you were moving further away from the object.

Pan View

Pan View repositions the model in the display window so that you can view another section of the pipeline without changing the view magnification.

Zoom In Area

Zoom Window increases the view magnification of an area in the pipeline model that you define with two points.

Show 3D

Show opens the 3D View window, and displays the pipeline in a separate window as a scaled 3D model.

Standard View

Standard View changes the view orientation of the 3D model to one of the following standard views: Iso North: Top Left, Iso North: Top Right, Iso North: Bottom Left, Iso North: Bottom Right, Look Down, Look Up, Look North, Look South, Look East, and Look West.

  • To toggle on and off the display of the View toolbar, click View > Toolbars > View.

  • An identical set of the view commands is also available on the View menu.

  • The Zoom In/Out, Pan View, and Zoom Window commands cannot be used to manipulate the display of the model in the 3D View window.
