NX6 True Shading
NX6 True Shading
(OP)
Every time I go into True Shading it gives me a perspective view, and I toggle it off.
Is there a way to never get a perspective view when going into True Shading?

RE: NX6 True Shading
Besides, the name of the function is 'True Shading'. How could it be 'True' if it were NOT seen in perspective? As far as I'm concerned, the ONLY place where working in a non-perspective, or parallel view, is appropriate is when you're placing orthographic views on a Drawing.

I have always had a minor depth perception problem, I wonder if has something to do with that.

The vanishing point of the perspective view offered seems to be too close to the viewer, as far as I am concerned. The "un-perspective" view is more believable.....the perspective view just hurts my head.

That being said, I may give some leeway to people who do NOT use a Spaceball or other 3D display controller, but if you DO, I really can't see how you think that you can be more productive using parallel rather then perspective views.

I work on huge mining stuff.

Parallel views give you more information about the part. Real world parts usually have draft. Tooling is usually square or prismatic. Perspective view distorts angular relationships, hides parallelism and squareness of part features, and requires you to query the model in order to find those relaionships, and get a sense of what you are working with.
I think you are working against yourself if you work in perspective.

RE: NX6 True Shading
When working I don't mind at all using the parallel projection, but if i encounter an rendered image , such as in the "Siemens calendar", where the projection is parallel i get goosebumps. (well, not that serious but it looks weird.)
But, back to Jerry's original question, is there an option to turn it off?

RE: NX6 True Shading
Supposing the camera tool works, could the vanishing point be defined far enough away from the viewer so as to NOT affect the True Shading rendering?
