i 'm trying to limit the view to a specified area in a very large 3d model. for example i want to view a few objects

that i know their coordinates so the view of those special coordinates are enough for me (not the whole model)

would you help about it, please? thank you and kind regards

Hi,

i suggest to do the follow and see if it's help :

Zoom to your needed items .
type VPORTS command and type a name for your view in the New Name place .
now whenever you moved your model you can get back for that zoom by ( see the follow image ) go to the minus symbol in your upper left CAD screen.

OR ... you can temporarily suppress the visibility of specified objects by HIDEOBJECTS command . please try to follow this AKN article that may help . >> Click <<

Regards,

Investigate ZOOM's options, and also VIEW. If those "special coordinates" involve two point locations, you can give Zoom those points as a Window [the default], and if necessary Zoom in or out a little from there [depending on how the coordinates relate to the objects you want to see]. Or you can use one of the objects itself with the Object option. Or you could use those special coordinates with the Center option, and either give it a Height if you know that, or Zoom in or out from there. If you repeatedly need to go to the same focused view, use the VIEW command to Save it as a defined View, and you can then use its Restore option to go back to it any time.
