∆X/∆Y (sheet layer, section, horizontal section, or interior elevation viewport)

Indicates the viewport’s width and height, or the interior elevation viewport’s horizontal extent and vertical extent (Vectorworks Architect required)

X/Y

Indicates the viewport’s location (in world coordinates)

Offset X/Y/Z (design layer viewport)

(Design Suite required)

Specifies the viewport's offset (in world coordinates) from the original design layer objects

Screen Offset X/Y/Z (design layer viewport)

(Design Suite required)

In rotated plan view, specifies the viewport's offset (in screen coordinates) from the original design layer objects (see Working in rotated plan view)

Rotation

Sets the viewport rotation; if the viewport was created from a rotated plan view (Vectorworks Design Suite required), this parameter can be used to reset the viewport to the world coordinate system

Lock Position (design layer viewport)

(Design Suite required)

Prevents the viewport from being moved accidentally.

When this parameter is selected, you cannot change the Offset X/Y/Z or Screen Offset X/Y/Z coordinates.

Crop

Indicates whether the selected viewport has been cropped (see Cómo recortar encuadres de lámina o de capa de diseño)

Crop visible

If the viewport has been cropped, displays the crop object

Update

Click to update the viewport to reflect any changes that have occurred since the viewport was created or last updated

Back Ref. Sheet No.

Indicates the sheet numbers of any markers selected for display with the Select Back References button

Select Back References

Opens the Back References dialog box, to select objects to reference on the viewport’s drawing label. The list includes reference markers, section-elevation lines, and detail callout objects that either define the viewport (indicated by a marker in the Def column) or are linked to it, and are also within the annotations of a sheet layer viewport.

Choose a category from the Back Reference list, or choose Select objects from list, and then click the Reference column of each object you want to back reference.

Double-click an item in the list to temporarily highlight it and center it in the drawing window.

The viewport’s drawing label must include a back reference sheet number field to display the references.

Layers

Specifies which design layers are visible in the viewport and allows changes to some of the layer properties in the viewport; see Cómo cambiar las propiedades de capa de los encuadres de lámina o de capa de diseño

Classes

Specifies which classes are visible in the viewport and allows changes to some of the class properties in the viewport, including changes to the properties for annotation or crop objects. Class visibilities can be overridden for a selected viewport; see Cómo cambiar las propiedades de clase de los encuadres de lámina o de capa de diseño.

Data Visualization (sheet layer viewport)

(Design Suite required)

Allows object attributes to be changed based on object data; see Viewing the drawing by data or by attributes

Camera

Indicates whether the viewport is linked to a Renderworks camera

Background/Foreground Render

Specifies the render mode for the viewport. Select a background mode and specify the render settings for the contents of the viewport.

For a composite, sketch-like effect, creating an overlay of lines on top of the viewport, also select an optional foreground mode and specify any settings (Wireframe, Sketch, Hidden Line, or Dashed Hidden Line are the only render modes available for foreground rendering).

Background/Foreground Render Settings

Some render modes require parameters to be set; click the appropriate Render Settings button to specify them. See the following:

Wireframe settings: Wireframe options

Shaded settings: Shaded options

Custom Renderworks settings: Opciones personalizadas de Renderworks

Artistic Renderworks settings: Opciones de Renderworks artístico

Hidden Line, Dashed Hidden Line, and Final Shaded Polygon settings: Line render options

Sketch settings: Aplicación de estilos de boceto a encuadres

Lighting Options

Click to change the ambient light parameters described in Cómo definir opciones de iluminación.

By default, a viewport’s ambient light is set according to the ambient light settings of the first visible design layer in the viewport. If there are no visible layers, the ambient light is set to on, with a color of white and a brightness of 35% (similar to the default ambient lighting for a design layer).

If the lighting options are controlled by a Renderworks style that is currently in effect, the Edit Renderworks Style dialog box opens instead; see Renderworks styles.

Advanced Properties

Opens the Advanced Viewport Properties dialog box; see Propiedades avanzadas del encuadre de lámina, Propiedades avanzadas del encuadre de capa de diseño, or Propiedades avanzadas de encuadre de sección . Because interior elevation viewports are technically section viewports, see Propiedades avanzadas de encuadre de sección .

Reverse Direction (section viewport)

(Design Suite required)

Switches to view the other side of the section line

Section Line Instances (section viewport)

(Design Suite required)

Lists the section line instances present in the file (see Section line instances); available for vertical sections only

Navigate to Interior Elevation (interior elevation viewport)

(Architect required)

Click to view the design layer with the associated interior elevation marker and select the marker

Detail Callout Instances (detail viewport)

(Design Suite required)

Lists the detail callout instances present in the file (see Instancias de llamada con detalle )

Apply Image Effects

(Renderworks or Shaded rendering mode and updated viewport required)

Toggles image effects on and off

Image Effects

Opens the Image effects dialog box, for quickly and easily adjusting the viewport’s appearance
