Present objects full-size on large displays

You may want to see orthographic views at full size (1:1), especially if you are presenting on a large screen. To use this feature, you (or a colleague at the presentation site) must measure two lines on the large display.

Set up the 1:1 display calibration

1. Ensure that the machine attached to the large display has joined an online session.

   Set up and participate in online sessions

2. On the host machine, select View > Calibrate 1:1 Display.

   The Calibrate 1:1 Display window appears.

3. Click New.

   

4. The 1:1 Calibration window appears.

   

5. On the large display, measure the two lines shown in the window. Use a ruler or measuring tape.
   NoteOn a client session this window will look different and you will not be able to type values. If the large display is attached to a client session at a remote site, get a colleague to measure while you type in the values at the host machine.
   NoteThese lines should be the same length. If they are different lengths, the display uses non-square pixels. In this case, the display will not be 1:1.
6. Type the measurements in the Horizontal and Vertical fields.

   

7. Type a name to identify this particular calibration.

   

8. Click OK.
9. The calibration is listed in the Calibrate 1:1 Display window. The current display resolution is also listed.
   NoteClick New to add more calibrations for other displays. Click Edit to change selected calibrations and Delete to delete them.

View objects 1:1

1. Use the previous steps to set up the 1:1 display calibration.
2. Go to an orthographic view (View > Orthographic Views).

   

3. Select View > Display 1:1.
4. If prompted, select the calibration you want to use and click Calibrate 1:1.

   

5. The orthographic view appears in 1:1 display.
6. If you zoom or tumble the view out of 1:1 display and want to return to 1:1 display (or if you want to change to another orthographic view), select the orthographic view again and then select View > 1:1 Display.

Hide the interface on the large display

You may want to present a model on a large display without displaying the software interface to the audience. This is possible by setting up a separate client machine with the Showcase Viewer product to drive the large display.
