Constrain the Walk Angle
When walking through a model, you can constrain the movement angle to
the ground plane. If the Constrain Walk Angle to Ground Plane option is
enabled, you can freely walk around while maintaining a constant camera
viewpoint elevation; if the walk angle is not constrained, you will “fly” in the
direction you are looking. Use the properties dialog box for the SteeringWheels
to constrain the movement angle to the ground plane for the Walk tool.
Movement Speed
As you walk or “fly” through a model, you can control the movement speed.
Movement speed is controlled by the distance in which the Cursor is moved
from the Center Circle icon and the current movement speed setting. You
can adjust the movement speed setting permanently and temporarily as you
use the Walk tool. To temporarily increase movement speed, press and hold
the + (plus) key while using the Walk tool.
Change the Elevation
As you use the Walk tool, you can adjust the camera elevation by holding
down the SHIFT key. This temporarily activates the Up/Down tool. With the
Up/Down tool active, drag up or down to adjust the elevation of the camera.
You can also use the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys as you walk to adjust
the height of the view.
To use the Walk tool to move through the model
1 Display one of the Full Navigation wheels or the mini Tour Building
wheel.
2 Click and hold down the Walk wedge.
The cursor changes to the Walk cursor and the Center Circle icon is
displayed.
3 Drag in the direction you want to walk.
