Full-screen deflection shortcuts

The full-screen deflection shows the deformed project case by case, animated. The shortcuts switch the case, step frame by frame, cut the project and send the view to a sheet.

All shortcuts

The list below is read from the same catalog the editor uses, so it changes together with the editor.

    Previous frame

    Pauses and steps back on the motion track.

    with displacement

  • .

    Next frame

    Pauses and steps forward on the motion track.

    with displacement

  • Home

    Structure at rest

    Pauses at the start of the track, with nothing displaced.

    with displacement

  • End

    Full deflection

    Pauses at the middle of the track, with the full deflection.

    with displacement

  • <

    Slower

    Slows the animation down, to 0.5×.

    with displacement

  • >

    Faster

    Speeds the animation up, to 2×.

    with displacement

  • =

    Normal speed

    Sets the animation back to 1×.

    with displacement

  • F

    Frame

    Fits the clipping box in all four views; without a box, the project.

  • Shift+F

    Frame the project

    Resets all four views to fit the whole project.

  • C

    Clipping box

    Toggles the clipping box.

  • Shift+C

    Box to whole project

    Expands the clipping box to the whole project.

    with the box on

  • N

    Show in the 3D model

    Closes full screen and draws the deflection over the model.
