critical analysis of the absence of interior - Bilkent University

‘View’ features are grouped as 2D and 3D view (Table 3.3). ‘2D view’ involve
‘zoom’, ‘pan’, ‘2D wireframe’ and ‘2D hidden’ view, various ‘viewports’ (top,
bottom, left, right, front, back and user defined viewports) and ‘2D section’ view
features. ‘3D view’ feature list is more detailed compared to ‘2D view’ list, in order
to provide a proper the perception of the object or project to the user in the third
dimension. Thus, ‘3D view’ feature consists of ‘3D wireframe’, ‘3D hidden’, ‘3D
shaded’, ‘perspective’, ‘axonometric’ view, ‘3D section’ view, ‘3D orbit’, different
‘camera’ views and ‘animation’ features. Among other general purpose software,
ArchiCAD, which is architectural based software, embraces most of the features as
emphasizing the importance of view features in architecture.
