Navigate & View
Perspective & orthographic
Switch between a natural perspective camera and a true-to-scale orthographic view.
Steps
- Open the view menu at the bottom of the left toolbar and tap Settings.
- Drag the Lens of View & Dolly slider all the way left to Orthographic — parallel edges stay parallel, so sizes read true at any depth.
- Drag the slider right toward Perspective for a natural camera view where distant edges converge.
- Use orthographic to check proportions and alignment, and perspective to present how the design really looks.
- Press 5 on the numeric keypad to switch between perspective and orthographic.
- Open the view menu and tap Settings to reach the Lens of View & Dolly slider.
