Inspect Elements
Inspect Elements tool supports the systematic check of vector elements in a CAD file. It provides a list of elements from which you can select one element after the other.
The tool includes view settings that define CAD file views displaying the selected element in different view orientations. The selected element is automatically centered in these views.
To inspect vector elements:
1. Select the elements you want to check.
2. Select the Inspect Elements tool.
This opens the Inspect Elements dialog:

Front view |
CAD file view that displays the selected element in a front section view. The cross section is 90 degree rotated compared with the Right view. |
Right view |
CAD file view that displays the selected element in a right section view. The cross section is 90 degree rotated compared with the Front view. |
Isometric view |
CAD file view that displays the selected element in an isometric view. |
Camera view |
CAD file view that displays the selected element in a camera view. The view can display images that are referenced by an active image list in TerraPhoto. |
Fit view |
If on, the selected element is automatically fitted in the view. |
