Plant Mode Section View Orientation Behavior

The software automatically determines the "up" direction for section views. In most cases, the up direction is "up," or +Z. In cases where using +Z is impossible (for example, if the section view direction is Looking Plan or Looking Up), the software orients the view to the North direction.

The following examples outline common section view orientations:

Marine Mode Section View Orientation Behavior

The software automatically determines the "up" direction for section views. In most cases, the up direction is "up," or +Z. In cases where using the z-axis is impossible (for example, if the section view direction is Looking Plan or Looking Up), the software orients the view to the Port direction.

Additionally, angled sections of elevation views, and any section of a non-standard view direction (in which it is possible) uses Port orientation.

The following examples outline common section view orientations:
