Description

Std ViewRear puts the camera in the 3D view looking towards the front from the back, in the direction of the negative Y axis, [0.0, -1.0, 0.0].

The rear view sets the camera looking to the front, in the direction of the negative Y axis.

How to use

  • Go to the menu View → Standard views → Rear.
  • Or press the Rear button.
  • Or press 4 in the numerical pad of the keyboard.

Scripting

The rear view can be set from the Python console.

It is a method of the ActiveView of the ActiveDocument. The ActiveView only exists when the graphical interface is available; it does not exist when FreeCAD is used in purely console mode.

import FreeCADGui as Gui
Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.viewRear()

Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.getViewDirection()
