General data: Drawing

Pen

The pen properties (width, style and colour) used to draw the global axes, the view axes, the scale bar and the compass in 3D views.

North direction

If this direction is defined then a compass is drawn on the 3D view. The compass is only drawn for plan views.

The direction is an azimuth direction, so a value of 0° represents the positive $X$ direction, 90° the positive $Y$ direction, etc.

Default view parameters

The default view parameters determine the default view for this model: when a new 3D view window is opened it will start with these view parameters.

Default view parameter specification

Determines the way in which the default view parameters are defined.

The specified option makes the default view parameters available for you to set directly. A convenient way to obtain these values is to first set up the desired view in a 3D view window and then apply the set as default view menu item. This action will fill out the default view parameters with the settings for the current 3D view.

The calculated based on the model extent option sets the default view to a wire frame view, in elevation, and sized so that the entire model will be displayed. The size is chosen automatically by OrcaFlex; no further data are required.
