Quick looks and clean pictures, saved on your computer.

• screenshotA quick look at the viewport, so Claude can see what you see.
• render_imageA clean picture up to 8192 px, from one or several angles, saved as PNG.
• compare_imagesOpened and now, side by side, with the numbers under each.
• turntable_videoOne slow turn round the model, saved as a video. Animations play in it.
• animate_partsChoose which parts or groups move, and how: spin, swing, noise, a path or an oscillation for pistons and pumps. They keep running until removed.

Select, hide, turn and explode. Nothing is changed, so none of it asks.

• select_partsSelect by id or part of a name; add or remove.
• select_allSelect every visible part, or invert the selection.
• hide_partsHide parts.
• isolate_partsShow only these parts.
• show_allBring everything back.
• frame_selectionFly to the selection.
• set_camera_viewPerspective, top, front, side, or fit the model; then turn, tilt and zoom.
• photo_modePhoto mode: lights, backdrop, finish, depth of field and every effect, the focus on a part.
• set_view_modeSolid, wireframe, x-ray, heat, clay or CAD.
• set_explodePull the parts apart along any axes, 0 to 300%.
• set_gridShow or hide the grid.
