How to Inspect a 3D CAD Assembly
- Open an assembly. Find the CAD assembly in your workspace and open it in the CAD ROOMS Viewer.
- Explore exploded views. Use the exploded view controls to separate components and understand how the assembly fits together.
- Find and isolate parts. Navigate the assembly structure to locate individual components and isolate the parts you want to inspect.
- Inspect internal geometry. Enable a cross-section view to examine components and features hidden inside the assembly.
- Adjust the section view. Change the section plane's position and orientation to inspect the assembly from different angles.
For detailed guidance, see Inspecting Assemblies in the CAD Viewer.
