<summary>Can I view my layout in orthographic or axonometric projection?</summary>

Yes. Both views are available from the camera dropdown in the 3D viewer toolbar. Orthographic views show the layout without perspective distortion, meaning parallel lines stay parallel; this is particularly useful for technical drawings and architectural reviews. Axonometric is an angled projection that combines elements of top-down and side views in a single image. You can switch freely between perspective, orthographic, and axonometric during a session.

<details>

<summary>How do I switch to a 2-point perspective view?</summary>

2-point perspective is available in the same camera dropdown as the other view modes. It keeps vertical lines straight, with no convergence at the top or bottom, giving the view a more architectural and natural feel. Walkthrough functionality remains available in all camera modes, so you can move through your space in any view type.
