Description

The Std ViewIsometric command realigns the camera in the active 3D view to obtain an isometric view. For a truly isometric view the 3D view must be in orthographic mode, but the command also works if the view is in perspective mode.

    • Press the Isometric button.

Scripting

To change to isometric view use the viewIsometric method of the View object. This method is not available if FreeCAD is in console mode.

import FreeCADGui

view = FreeCADGui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView
view.viewIsometric()
