You can also open scenes, 360° image collections, CAD models, and point clouds directly from the **3D preview** in the right-hand sidebar of [Search](/cdf/explore/search). If you don't see any models in Browse 3D, there are no 3D models available within your organization. ## Navigate, analyze, and search in 3D The 3D view provides tools for exploring and analyzing your 3D environment. Browse 3D view ➀ **3D toolbar** — customize your view, analyze and measure objects, and adjust visualization options. * **Tree view** : view and filter models and other elements in the scene. * **Cropping tool** : create a slice plane or crop box to define a custom 3D boundary. * **Measurements** : measure point coordinates, distances, areas, volumes, and diameters. * **Points of interest** : bookmark specific views and asset selections. * **Minimap** : track your location and navigate in large scenes. To configure the minimap, see [Configure a scene](/cdf/3d/guides/scene). * **Ghost mode** : focus on specific parts while fading non-selected elements. ➁ **Scene dropdown** — navigate to other 3D models and scenes available for your location. ➂ **Top bar** — change viewing perspectives, adjust camera speed, and focus on specific elements within your models. ➃ **Search panel** — search for an asset directly in the 3D view and select Open for further analysis in [Search](/cdf/explore/search).
