Basic Examples (4) 

Show a 3D model from above, the front and the right, plus a free view:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

Show only top, front and right views:

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

Show six views as an unfolded cube:

In[3]:=

Out[3]=

Show a molecule:

In[4]:=

Out[4]=

Scope (8) 

Show isometric views from above:

In[5]:=

Out[5]=

Show isometric views from below:

In[6]:=

Out[6]=

Specify a custom layout as a matrix of named views, view directions and empty cells:

In[7]:=

Out[7]=

Show a region:

In[8]:=

Out[8]=

Show a mesh region:

In[9]:=

Out[9]=

Show a 3D image:

In[10]:=

Out[10]=

Show a 3D plot:

In[11]:=

Out[11]=

Label the whole figure:

In[12]:=

Out[12]=

Options (12) 

By default, the panes are linked for panning and zooming. Pan with Shift-drag, or zoom with Alt-drag (Cmd-drag on macOS), in any pane, and the other panes follow. Only the free pane rotates when you drag it:

In[13]:=

Out[13]=

With "RigLocked", dragging any pane rotates all panes together, so the views keep their relative directions:

In[14]:=

Out[14]=

Make a static figure:

In[15]:=

Out[15]=

Compare third-angle and first-angle projection:

In[16]:=

Out[16]=

By default, each pane is lit from the viewer's side. Rotate the free pane, and the shading of each face changes with the rotation:

In[17]:=

Out[17]=

Fix the lights to the object, as they fall in the free view. Rotate the free pane, and each face keeps its shading:

In[18]:=

Out[18]=

Specify custom labels:

In[19]:=

Out[19]=

Label each view with its direction:

In[20]:=

Out[20]=

Omit labels:

In[21]:=

Out[21]=

Style view labels:

In[22]:=

Out[22]=

Start the free pane low and looking along a wall:

In[23]:=

Out[23]=

Switch the free pane to a perspective projection, so the near tower looks larger than the far one:

In[24]:=

Out[24]=

Other Graphics3D options apply to every pane:

In[25]:=

Out[25]=

Set the size of the whole figure:

In[26]:=

Out[26]=

Applications (2) 

Model an angle bracket as a solid with holes:

Make a drawing with three views and a pictorial view:

In[27]:=

Out[27]=

Export the drawing as a PDF:

In[28]:=

Out[28]=

Explore a family of surfaces from several views:

In[29]:=

Out[29]=

Properties and Relations (2) 

Views made with Show are each scaled to fill their space:

In[30]:=

In[31]:=

Out[31]=

MultiviewGraphics3D shows all views at a common scale:

In[32]:=

Out[32]=

Possible Issues (2) 

Camera options set in the input are ignored:

In[33]:=

In[34]:=

Out[34]=

Set them in MultiviewGraphics3D instead:

In[35]:=

Out[35]=

Neat Examples (1) 

Make a solid whose top, front and right views are three different letters:

In[36]:=

Out[36]=
