■ Selecting Free Orbit freely rotates the model around the focal point in any direction.
Panning, Zooming, and Orbiting with the Mouse Wheel/Middle Mouse Button
Autodesk Navisworks also allows you to perform basic navigation with the mouse wheel and middle mouse
button. This is effective when you need to orient the model while doing other tasks such as measuring, sectioning
or selecting items, as it does not require you to explicitly select a navigation tool from the navigation bar, but
instead gives you quick 'shortcut' access via the middle button.
1 To pan, press and hold the middle mouse button, and then move the mouse.
2 To zoom the model, rool the mouse wheel. Rolling forwards zooms in, rolling backwards zooms out.
3 To orbit the model, press and hold the SHIFT key and hold down the middle mouse button. Moving the
mouse rotates the model about the currently defined pivot point.
Walking and Looking Around a Model
One of the most effective way to navigate large projects is to use the Walk
tool on the navigation bar.
