Controlling perspective

Perspective representation accurately depicts the spatial relationship of three-dimensional objects in a two-dimensional plane. In other words, a three-dimensional model on your screen appears more realistic when perspective is turned on. Alternatively, parallel lines in the model appear parallel when perspective is turned off. Perspective affects all plots except X–Y plots, applies in all modules, and is turned on by default.
