3D objects in Viewports

[DavidT]

I've rotated a shape I've created and now I want to plate the screen view. When I draw a box around the shape to create a viewport, VW plates the entire design layer with a red striped update box. Is there an easy way to bring in a custom iso view?

If you draw a closed 2D shape around the part of the design layer that you want and leave it selected when you Create the Viewport it will ask if you want to use that object as a crop object.

 

Or if you already have a viewport you can right click on it and Edit Crop and draw a single 2D object that will be used as the crop and only show what is inside the 2D object. You can later go back and edit the crop object or delete it and create a new crop object.

Thank you! There was a glitch that was preventing it from operating correctly. It's working now. Thank you!
