Look Tool
Invert Vertical Axis Selecting this check box swaps the up-down axis for the Look tool; that is pushing the
mouse forward looks down, and pulling the mouse backward looks up.
Walk Tool
Constrain Walk Angle Selecting this check box makes the Walk Tool respect the world up vector (as set in File
Options Orientation). As a result, using the Walk tool causes the camera to snap to the current up vector.
When this check box is clear, the Walk tool disregards the world up vector, and the camera is walked with its
current up orientation unaffected.
Use Viewpoint Linear Speed When this check box is selected, the Walk tool will respect the Viewpoint Linear
Speed setting. In this case, the Walk speed slider will act like a multiplier.
When this check box is clear, the Walk tool will work independently of the Viewpoint Linear Speed setting,
using a fixed value set with the slider.
Walk Speed Sets the speed of the Walk tool from 0.1 (very slow) to 10 (very fast).
Zoom Tool
Enable Single-Click Incremental Zoom In When this check box is selected, single clicking over the Zoom
wedge increases the magnification of the model. When this check box is clear, nothing happens when you single
click over the Zoom wedge.
Orbit Tool
Keep Scene Upright When this check box is selected, the Orbit tool behaves similarly to the classic Orbit mode,
with orbiting constrained along the XY axis and in the Z direction.
When this check box is clear, the Orbit tool behaves similarly to the classic Examine mode, and you can roll the
model around the pivot point.
Enable Selection Sensitivity When this check box is selected, the objects selected before the Orbit tool are used
to calculate the pivot point to use for orbiting. The pivot point is calculated based on the center of the extents
of the selected objects.
