BOW

If selected, sets the view orientation to an orthogonal YZ plane and places the User in front of the bow.

STERN

If selected, sets the view orientation to an orthogonal YZ plane and places the User behind the stern.

PORT

If selected, sets the view orientation to an orthogonal XZ plane and places the User on the port side.

STARBOARD

If selected, sets the view orientation to an orthogonal XZ plane and places the User on the starboard side.

KEEL

If selected, sets the view orientation to an orthogonal XY plane and places the User under the keel.

DECK

If selected, sets the view orientation to an orthogonal XY plane and places the User above the main deck.

ISOMETRIC

If selected, sets the view orientation to the predefined angles (Azimuth and Elevation) defined in the Graphics Features page of the Options dialog.

ZOOM OUT

If selected, the User is prompted to digitise (using the mouse) a rubber band (rectangle). The new view is entered at the centre of the rubber band and zoomed out by the ratio of the current view to the ratio of the rubber band.

RESET

If selected, resets the view in the currently active graphics window to its original size.

REDRAW

Refreshes the display in the currently active graphics window.

REDRAW ALL

Refreshes the display of all graphics windows.

RECENTRE

Useful when checking whether several entities have been joined correctly. Primarily to check the integrity of the surface to be used as an envelope for generation of internal structure (through Compartment).

IDENTIFY RANGE

If selected, the User is prompted to digitize (using the mouse) a rubber band (rectangle) within which all elements are to be identified. Highlights the selected elements in the graphics view and displays their names in the Output window.
