Specify 3D Views Interactively (3D Orbit)
Use the 3DORBIT command to activate an interactive view of your 3D model.
Overview of 3D Orbit
The 3DORBIT command activates an interactive 3D Orbit view in the current
viewport. When the
3DORBIT command is active, you use the pointing device
to manipulate the view of the model. You can view the entire model or any
object in your model from different points around it.
The3D Orbit view displays an arcball, which is a circle divided into four
quadrants by smaller circles. While
3DORBIT is active, the point that you are
viewing, or the target of the view, stays stationary. The point from which you
are viewing, or the camera location, moves around the target. The center of
the arcball is the target point.
You can also shade the objects in your drawing while the
3DORBIT command
is active.
