3D Body Placement Shortcuts

The shortcuts really available depend on the type of 3D Model existence placed or moved - Extruded, Cylinder, Sphere, or Generic 3D Model. Generic model back up includes Step ( *.Stp and *.Step), Parasolid (*.x_t and *.x_b (up to V27)), and SolidWorks formatted models. Support for SolidWorks and Parasolid format models, and the Parasolid format export, is enabled past installing the

SOLIDWORKS PCB Connector

extension. You lot will too crave an

MCAD Co-Designer - SOLIDWORKS (R)

license, which is enabled along with your regular Altium Designer license.

Shortcut	Clarification

4 (on numeric keypad)	Rotate the 3D torso object existence placed/moved counterclockwise around the model's Y-centrality by 90° This shortcut applies to Generic 3D Model and Cylinder model types only.
half dozen (on numeric keypad)	Rotate the 3D body object beingness placed/moved clockwise around the model's Y-axis by 90° This shortcut applies to Generic 3D Model and Cylinder model types just.
Spacebar	Rotate the 3D trunk object being placed/moved counterclockwise around the model'south Z-axis by ninety° This shortcut only applies to the Extruded model type when it is being moved.
Shift+Spacebar	Rotate the 3D torso object beingness placed/moved clockwise around the model's Z-axis past 90° This shortcut simply applies to the Extruded model type when it is being moved.
nine (on numeric keypad)	Increase the Standoff Height for the 3D body object being placed/moved by ane Snap Filigree unit This shortcut only applies to the Extruded model type when it is existence moved.
3 (on numeric keypad)	Decrease the Collision Height for the 3D torso object being placed/moved by ane Snap Grid unit This shortcut only applies to the Extruded model type when it is existence moved.

3D Visualization Shortcuts

The following additional shortcuts are available when viewing the lath in 3D in the PCB Editor (or, where applicable, a component in 3D in the PCB Library Editor):

Shortcut	Description	More Information...
0	Change the view of the lath (or component) in 3D so that you are looking directly down from above (perpendicular) with zero rotation In addition, y'all can use the applicable driblet-down field on the PCB Standard toolbar (PCB Editor), or the PCB Lib Standard toolbar (PCB Library Editor) to quickly choose from a fix of predefined 3D views when viewing your board (or library components) in 3D.	Command Page
ix	Change the view of the board (or component) in 3D so that you are looking straight down from above (perpendicular) with 90 Degree (clockwise) rotation in the 10-airplane In addition, you can employ the applicable drop-down field on the PCB Standard toolbar (PCB Editor), or the PCB Lib Standard toolbar (PCB Library Editor) to rapidly choose from a gear up of predefined 3D views when viewing your board (or library components) in 3D.	Command Page
viii	Alter the view of the board (or component) in 3D so that you are looking at the lath from an orthogonal perspective In addition, you can apply the applicable driblet-downward field on the PCB Standard toolbar (PCB Editor) or the PCB Lib Standard toolbar (PCB Library Editor) to quickly choose from a set of predefined 3D views when viewing your board (or library components) in 3D.	Command Folio
5	Toggle a lath that has flexible areas betwixt its flattened state (no Angle Line settings practical) and its folded state (all Bending Line settings applied)	Control Page
Shift	Access the 3D rotational sphere. With the sphere displayed, Right-Click and drag to change the orientation of the view	-
Ctrl+C	Copies the electric current view in the main blueprint workspace to the clipboard in bitmap format (*.bmp). You have command over the resolution of the copied paradigm via the 3D Snapshot Resolution dialog	Command Page
Fifty	Access the View Configuration panel in which you can configure how the board is rendered in 3D	-
