"Axis break" in NSC 3D layout

Is it possible to somehow create an axis break in the 3D layout when working in non-sequential mode?

For example, if in my layout I have a beam source that hits an object that is a very long distance away, with no other objects along this path. I want to be able to see everything in the layout without having to zoom out so much that I can't see any of the details in the layout. Is there a way to create a sort of axis break that hides a large portion of the path?

Hi Camille,


I don't think there is a tool in the NSC Shaded Model or 3D layout that can introduce an 'axis break' as you described. All objects and distances are drawn true to scale in the layout window. Usually in a situation like this, I'll use the 'Zoom' button in the layout to zoom in on the object of interest, as shown below. When done, I then use the 'Reset Zoom' button to zoom out to include the Source. 



Will this work for you?


Best,


Hui
