\title Working in the 3D Editor
\title Working in 3D Editor
To project a 3D scene to a 2D viewport, it is necessary to view the scene
from a \l{Using Scene Camera}{camera}. Select the \uicontrol {Toggle
Perspective/Orthographic Projection} button (1) on the 3D editor toolbar to
switch between a \e {perspective camera} and an \e {orthographic camera}.
A perspective camera uses field of view and near and far clip planes to
specify the projection, whereas an orthographic camera can be thought of
as a 2D camera. Both of them are free-form cameras that you can use to
orbit around the scene.
When editing a 3D scene, you view the scene in \uicontrol {3D Editor} by
using the \uicontrol {3D Editor} camera. You can switch between
\e {perspective camera} and \e {orthographic camera} modes. When using the
perspective camera mode, objects that are far from the camera appear smaller
than those nearby. In the orthographic camera mode, all objects appear at
the same scale irrespective of their distance from the camera. Both of them
are free-form camera modes that you can use to orbit around the scene.
When you import 3D scenes from files that you exported from 3D graphics
tools, you also import the camera, light, model, and materials. If your
scene did not contain them, you can add the corresponding Qt Quick 3D
types from the \uicontrol Library.
tools, you also import a \l{Using Scene Camera}{scene camera},
\l{Using Lights}{light}, \l{Adding Models}{model}, and
\l {Using Materials and Shaders}{materials}. If your scene did not contain
them, you can add the corresponding Qt Quick 3D types from \uicontrol
Library.
You can use the toolbar buttons (2) to show the \e transformation
gizmo in the \uicontrol {3D Editor} when an item is selected
and to determine what happens when you drag the selected item.
Transformation refers to moving, rotating, or scaling of an object.
Select the \uicontrol {Toggle Local/Global Orientation} button (3) to
determine whether the gizmos affect only the local transformations of the
item or whether they transform with respect to the global space.
You can use the toolbar buttons to \e transform 3D objects and manipulate
the 3D scene. Transformation refers to moving, rotating, or scaling of an
object. The \e pivot of the component is used as the origin for
transformations. You can set a \l{Setting Transform Properties}{local pivot
offset} for an item in \uicontrol Properties to transform the component
around a point other than its local origin. A line is drawn in \uicontrol
{3D Editor} from the pivot point to the center of the component to provide
a visual connection between them.
Toggle between local and global orientation to determine whether the gizmos
affect only the local transformations of the item or whether they transform
with respect to the global space.
Additional helpful features when editing 3D scenes are the \e {edit light},
which is a quick way to light the scene, and the grid that helps you to
navigate in 3D space. Select the \inlineimage grid_on.png
(\uicontrol {Toggle Grid Visibility}) to show or hide the grid.

The \e pivot of the component is used as the origin for position, scale,
and rotation operations. You can set a \l{Setting Transform Properties}
{local pivot offset} for an item in the \uicontrol Properties view to
manipulate the component around a point other than its local origin. A
line is drawn in the 3D editor from the pivot point to the center of the
component to provide a visual connection between them.

.
You can add 3D camera types to the scene to project the view you see in
the View3D type in the application. While editing scenes, you can use
a separate \e {edit view camera} (4) to project the scene to the 3D edit
view in the Design mode.
You can navigate the scene by panning, rotating, and zooming the 3D Editor
camera:
You can navigate the scene by rotating, panning, and zooming the edit view

anywhere in the rendered view to slide the view around.
\li To orbit, press \key Alt and click anywhere in the rendered view to
rotate the view.
\li To zoom, use the mouse wheel or press \key Alt and right-click
anywhere in the rendered view to zoom the view in or out as you drag
up or down.

To scale the edit view camera and to focus it on the selected items, select
\uicontrol {Fit Selected} button or press \key F.

The world axis helper (1) shows the direction of the world axes in respect
to the 3D Editor camera. To point the camera at the currently selected
component in the direction of an axis, click the axis. If no component
is selected, the camera is pointed at the world origin. This does not
affect the camera zoom level.
For more information about using the cameras in the scene, the available
3D camera types, and their properties, see \l{Using Scene Camera}.

You can use scene cameras (2) to view the the View3D type from a specific
angle in \uicontrol {Form Editor} while editing scenes. Different types of
cameras are available in \uicontrol Library under \uicontrol
{Qt Quick 3D}. For more information about using cameras in the scene,
the available camera types, and their properties, see
\l{Using Scene Camera}.
\section1 Using Global and Local Orientation
To switch between local and global orientation, select
\inlineimage local.png
or \inlineimage global.png
(\uicontrol {Toggle Local/Global Orientation})
or press \key Y.
In global orientation mode, transformation of a selected object is presented
with respect to the global space. For example, while the move tool is
selected, selecting a cube will show its move gizmo aligned with the axes
of global space. Dragging on the red arrow of the gizmo moves the object in
the global x direction.
In local orientation mode, the position of a selected object is shown
according to local axes specific to the selected object. For example,
selecting a rotated cube will show its axes rotated, and not aligned with
the axes of global space. Dragging on the red arrow of the gizmo
moves the object in the local x direction in relation to the object.
\section1 Using Edit Light
The edit light is an extra point light that follows the edit camera.
To switch the edit light on and off, select \inlineimage edit_light_on.png
or \inlineimage edit_light_off.png
(\uicontrol {Toggle Edit Light})
or press \key U.
For more information about the available scene light types and their
properties, see \l{Using Lights}.
\section1 Selecting Items
To move, rotate, or scale items in the scene, you need to select them first.
The selection mode buttons determine how items are selected when you click
them in the 3D editor.
