Chapter 18: views/

views/apply-mirror-planes

Controls whether and how graphics displays are mirrored. That is, you can choose from existing symmetry boundaries and defined mirror planes (views/mirror-planes/create). Enter () on the first prompt to remove any applied mirror planes.

views/auto-scale

views/camera/

Enters the camera menu to modify the current viewing parameters.

views/camera/dolly-camera

views/mirror-planes/delete

Deletes a user-defined mirror plane.

views/mirror-planes/list

views/mirror-planes/list-properties
