Oblique View

This page describes how to open, use, pan and navigate on an oblique image view.

Open View from Map 2D

On opening of an Oblique Project, the oblique views will open with the focus on the center of the Project.
If the center of the map contains oblique images, they will be opened in each oblique view.
By default the Oblique views will be shown in the Oblique Tab with horizontal layout, this can be changed in the Preferences of Oblique.

Pan and Navigate

Pan function activated
Pan, zoom and navigate on an image view using the Pan function. The Pan function is by default activated.

When Follow Focus in the Oblique Extension sidebar is activated then Panning on the map will refresh every oblique view and other way around.
When Follow Zoom or Follow Focus are active navigation in one Oblique view will trigger automatic refreshing of all other Oblique views.
When Measure function is active Follow Zoom and Follow Focus get disabled. To enable them again it is necessary to Clear Measurement in the Oblique sidebar.
