Hello Everyone,

In CATIA V5 R20, when i need to view a 3D Model from a specified normal direction, i just select the required face & i click on the Normal view tool from the VIEW Toolbar.

The resultant view is normal but it is not oriented to the viewing plane. Basically, the outer lines of a rectangle is not horizontal & vertical, they are at an angle.

For example, please see attached jpg., the view is a normal view of a rectangular block.

Regards,

Himanshu
 
Hi! pleezwrite,

Till your sentence "Note that the compass axes names have changed from xyz to uwv" it is fine, because i tried it. But regarding your last sentence, where should i click on the axis for the normal direction to get the normal view ? on the compass ? or on any other place ? because if it is compass then i am not getting the desired result (the normal view).


Regards,

Himanshu
 
Sorry, click on the name of the axis to tge the desired view (on of the letters: u,v,w)
