View Full Version : 3d axis size control for high aspect ratio geometries

i have a high aspect ratio body (e.g., box with length / width = 10 / 1) and want to do a "save 3d win as png" that displays both the body & coordinate axes (with x,y,z labels).
File -> Settings -> Appearance, 3D Axis size seems to only allow a single number for the length of (all 3) axes. thus, the y,z axes extend too far (or the x extends not far enough). didn't find anything in the manual about this.
is there any way to separately control each of the axis lengths (and/or control where the x,y,z label are placed) in the 3d window?

thanks in advance

The axis lines will always be the same length.

To get the image you want, I recommend you switch off the axis (3D menu) and create some lines to replace them. You can use Tools->add text to create the XYZ letters.
