3D Graphics Perspective
The 
3D Graphics Perspective includes the 3D Graphics View and the 
Algebra View. By default, the 
coordinate axes and the xOy-plane are shown in the 3D Graphics View. Furthermore, the 3D Graphics View Toolbar and the 
Undo / Redo buttons in the top right corner are displayed.

The 3D Graphics View
Using the construction Tools available in the 3D Graphics View Toolbar you can create geometric constructions in the 3D Graphics View. Select any construction Tool from the 3D Graphics View Toolbar and read the appearing Tooltip to find out how to use the selected Tool.
Note: Any object you create in the 3D Graphics View also has an algebraic representation in the Algebra View.
Example
Select the 
Sphere with Center through Point tool and click twice in the 3D Graphics View. The first click creates the center point while the second click creates a sphere and a point on the sphere.

3D Graphics Perspective by following the Instructions below.Instructions
| 1. |  | Select the Cube tool from the Toolbox of solids and click twice in the 3D Graphics View to create a cube.
|
| 2. |  | Select the Move tool and change the position of the points and the size of the cube by dragging them with the pointer. |
| Hint: By clicking on a point you can switch between moving the point parallel to the x-y-plane or parallel to the z-axis. | ||
| 3. |  | Open the 3D Graphics View Style Bar by clicking the button in the top right corner. |
| 4. | 
| Adjust the View Direction by clicking on this tool in the  3D Graphics View Style Bar. Choose the view towards the xOy-plane  .
|
| 5. | 
| Rotate the 3D Graphics View back to default view.
|
| 6 | 
| Select the Rotate 3D Graphics View tool and drag the background of the 3D Graphics View with your pointing device.
|
| Hint: Alternatively you can right-drag the background of the 3D Graphics View to rotate the coordinate system.
