Interact with 3D model parts

Overview

Right-clicking directly on a 3D model part opens a context menu with options specific to that part. These options let you control your personal view of the part and change how it appears for all collaborators.

Steps

Open a space with a 3D model loaded in the 3D Canvas tab.
Right-click directly on any solid part of the model (not the background canvas).
The part-level context menu opens with two sections: My View and Group View.

My View options

These options only affect your own view and are not visible to other collaborators.

Reset My View — Returns your camera to the default position.
Fit To Screen — Zooms to fit the entire model on screen.
Zoom To Part — Zooms your camera in to focus on this specific part.
Hide Part — Hides this part from your view only.
Isolate Part — Hides all other parts so only this part is visible in your view.

Group View options

These options affect the shared view for all collaborators in the space.

Reset Group View — Resets the shared view back to the default for everyone.
Hide Part — Hides this part for all collaborators.
Transparent — Makes this part semi-transparent for all collaborators.
Part Color — Changes the color of this part for all collaborators. Options: Original, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Black, White.
Part Material — Applies a material finish to this part for all collaborators. Options: None, Aluminium, Brass, Car paint (blue), Car paint (red), Chrome, Concrete, Dichroic glass, Gold, Iron, Plastic (blue), Plastic (red), Rubber.

Additional details

My View changes are personal — other collaborators cannot see them.
Group View changes (color, material, transparency, hide) are shared and visible to everyone in the space in real time.
To reset a part's color or material back to original, right-click the part again and select Part Color > Original or Part Material > None.
Right-clicking on the empty canvas background (not a part) opens the canvas-level context menu. See Use the 3D Canvas context menu.
