Navigation Modes
There are nine navigation modes available from the Navigation Mode toolbar to control how you move around
the Scene Area- six camera-centric modes and three model-centric modes.
In a camera-centric mode, the camera moves within the scene, whereas in a model-centric mode, model moves
inside the scene. For example, orbit and examine modes essentially do the same thing, except that orbit mode
moves the camera around the focal point and examine mode moves the model around the focal point.
NOTE Navigation modes and SteeringWheels are mutually exclusive, so activating navigation mode deactivates the
current SteeringWheel menu.
Movement in each mode is based on the keyboard arrow keys, the Shift and Control keys, and mouse drags. The
mouse wheel is also supported, allowing quick and easy zooming or tilting, depending on the current navigation
mode.
TIP Dragging with the left mouse button while holding down the Control key performs the same actions as dragging
with the middle mouse button, which is useful if you only have a two-button mouse.
The Shift and Control keys modify the movement, for example holding down Shift in walk mode speeds up
movement, and holding down Control in this mode, glides the camera left/right and up/down.
NOTE Gliding the camera is opposite to panning the model. Gliding is a camera-centric motion and panning is a
model-centric motion.
