Restore 3D view of 3D Document

I have moved some things and now a 3D Document does not show all of what I need to see. How can I regenerate the specific 3D View that was used to make the 3D Document? I apparently did not save that 3D view, or I have deleted it. The reason I want that exact 3D view back is because I don't want to fuss with the documentation that was added to the 3D Document.

This opens the 3D source view. So now, how do I edit that view to include more of the model? With the Detail Marker ? The original 3D view might have been made using the marque tool. ?

This will generate the original view without the crop, but I still need to find how to adjust the marque/clipping boundary.

I was able to get what I want from here by gong form that restored 3D View to Floor Plan view and adding a new marquee. Then Show Selection/Marquee in 3D. That gets the view I want, but I think there must be a way to adjust the marker so it will include more in the 3D view.? That might be only for 2D details.

Hi Steve

I would go to the original view (to get the view settings as you want them), then hit F2 to go back to plan view but with the current layer, MVO settings etc. Place a new marquee encompassing the elements you want to see, then right click and "Show selection / marquee in 3D". When the 3D window is open you can right click and "Redefine 3D document". If you have more than one 3D document you will be given a list to select from as to which view to redefine.

HTH
That works.
