3D View Basics ​

The 3D view shows the field and the objects placed on the 2D tactics board in three dimensions. The contents of the 2D board are mirrored in 3D, so you can edit in 2D while checking how it looks in 3D. It is available on both static boards and animation boards.

The floating layout with the 3D view as the main view and the 2D board in a small window. Moving players in 2D updates the 3D view right away, and dragging the 3D view rotates the camera.

Showing the 3D view ​

Mobile ​

Press "3D" in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen to switch to a full-screen 3D view. Press "2D" to return to the 2D board. The camera position of the 3D view is kept when you return to 2D.

Using the floating window ​

When you first open the floating view, the 3D view fills the field area and the 2D board is shown in a small window at the bottom right. The position and size of the windows are kept the next time you open them.

  • Drag the window header to move it, and drag the bottom-right corner to resize it.
  • (Swap 2D/3D) swaps the positions of the 2D board and the 3D view, so the 2D board goes into the floating window and the 3D view fills the screen.
  • (Maximize window) fits the window to the field area, and (Show window in bottom-right corner) shrinks it to the bottom right.
  • Switch the aspect ratio shown next to (Free, 16:9, and so on) to lock the window's aspect ratio.

In split view, drag the divider between 2D and 3D to adjust the ratio. or swaps the two sides. Floating window buttons
