-D Draft View
+==== 3D Draft View ====
+The draft viewer is monochromatic (mostly) It quickly renders the current model into 3D
+**Pre-requisites**\\
+However, for 3D view to work; you need a special class called "View" and in that class, you need to create at least two pseudo objects -- one called "Location" and the other "Lookat"
+The height and level of these two objects would determine the initial camera location.
+Tell you what? The default TAD model already has this class. Copy that class and the objects therein to your own project; and you should have the basic view setting required by the 3D modeler done.
+Of course you need to ensure that the Location and Lookat are located correctly (i.e. they are indeed viewing something or the other)
+Use the scrollbars in the 3D Preview window to spin around and zoom into.
+At the bottom right hand corner of the 3D Preview; you can access the 3D Options. In very large projects (i.e. with large extents, not necssarily the number of objects in the project); you may see nothing because the "Yon" plane setting is set low. Change that to 1000 and you should get the view
+Enjoy!!
+**Details of what TAD does internally**\\
+When a 3D view is invoked, TAD quickly runs all the internal ARDELA scripts that may change the geometry of the objects. Then it will do all the pinning; and finally it gives it to the 3D viewer pipeline. That is why in complex projects; it may take a few microseconds more than in simpler projects
