The default behavior of the OpenProject BIM Model Viewer is a perspective view. The perspective camera gives you more information about depth. Distant objects are smaller than nerby ones. This function changes from perspective view to orthographic view. The orthographic view is widely used in engineering. All objects appear at the same scale and parallel lines remain parallel. Also a unit length appears the same length anywhere on the sceen. This makes it easier to assess the relative sizes.
