In the main window of BIMcollab Model WebViewer, you can access tools that help you customize viewpoints while navigating models and creating issues.

​

BIMcollab Model WebViewer includes two toolbars:
​

1. Constant toolbar: Is available at the bottom of the window. It provides quick access to viewpoint customization tools.
​

2. Contextual Toolbar: This toolbar changes based on your current selection. When you select an object, measurement, or section plane, relevant tools appear for that item.

​

Several tools in the bottom toolbar help you remove viewpoint customizations.

Restore view: Go back to the default view by clicking on the restore view icon. This option reverts back all types of adjustments. For instance, it unhides any hidden elements, applies Zoom to fit and removes any added colors or sections.

Show all: Unhide all hidden elements.

Zoom to fit: Use the zoom to fit icon to regain focus on the models.

Predefined views: here you can select a predefined view like front, back, top, bottom, right, or left.
​

In BIMcollab Model WebViewer, you can create up to six section planes and one section box to analyze your model.

Create section plane: to create a section plane, click on the icon and then select a plane within the model to define the direction of the section. The shortcut is to press "3" on your keyboard.

Create a section box: To create a section box ( 6 section planes at the same time) around the selected objects in the viewpoint.

When a section plane is selected, the sectioning tool box appears on the top.
