2D Diagramming

Key Features

• Always3D Engine allows seamless transition to overhead (top-down view)
• Work in a top-down (2D view) as you need
• Roll objects/vehicles (flipped or on their side), visually shows exactly that in 2D
• Same easy to use diagramming as FX3

EdgeFX was built using an Always3D Engine but that doesn't mean we haven't taken the time to ensure 2D diagramming is as simple as FX3 (and in most cases even simplier). Quickly swap to 2D overhead view by clicking the "Top-Down" option.

While in the Top-Down view, you can work as you always have in FX3. Drag and drop objects onto the scene, surface roadways or position rooms/furniture as necessary. As an added benefit, you have access to the roll/pitch and yaw of an object. By adjusting the roll or pitch, the object changes within the 2D perspective and therefore you can show the object rolling or overturned on the roadway. You could even build a quick profile diagram.

So it may sound like a contradiction to have an Always3D Engine allowing you to work in 2D (top-down) but the reality is everyone has different needs and EdgeFX adapts to your workflow. If you prefer to remain in 2D all the time, you can.
