3D Viewing Studio Menu Screen Overview This screen allows you to view one of the eight 3D objects created on the 3D Construction Screen. The object displayed is the same as the one that was last being edited. Using this screen you can place the object at any desired angle and plot the wire frame result onto the current work screen. See the 3D section and the tutorial concerning this later in the manual. To enter this screen you must click on the View Obj item on the 3D Construction screen.
