3D Project

  1. On the top navigation bar, navigate to the View tab and select Interactive 3D Layout.

  2. Use the controls to explore the layout:

  • Rotate: Click and drag with the left mouse button.

  • Zoom: Use the mouse scroll wheel.

  • Pan: Press Ctrl + left mouse button or right mouse button to reposition the layout.

3. Filter Layout Elements

The layout includes several visualization options to help focus on specific elements:

  • Toggle Filler Cells: Hide non-functional elements like filler cells.

  • Toggle TopCellGeometry: Remove power and ground buses from the view.

  • Toggle Instance Labels: Show or hide labels for individual components.

  • Toggle Net Connections: Highlight the connections between components.

These options allow for a cleaner and more focused view of the circuit, depending on what you wish to analyze.

4. Isolating Specific Cells

To focus on a particular component, use this feature to analyze specific parts of the circuit in detail:

  • Hover the mouse over the desired cell, and then:

    • The first option is to click on it to isolate the component, filtering out unrelated elements, in the right bar, using the filter layout elements.

    • The second option is to click on the buttons 1, 2 and 3 on your keyboard, with the mouse over the desired cell. Click 3 again to visualize the whole chip again.
