Field of view (FOV) is available for Perspective mode and Walkthrough mode. Both these modes are in perspective view.
FOV is the observable area you can see through your eyes or a lens. As the FOV value increases, the angle of vision increases.
Use the slider to adjust the FOV in real-time. Values can also be entered from 1.000 to 179.000 to obtain precise values. Once the value is updated the model view will change.
The FOV setting is saved with viewpoints and design issues and will also be included in BCF exports. When the viewpoint or design issue is viewed, the model view will be restored with the saved value.
