DescriptionMode
Look Around. Enables you to look around
the model from the current camera position
and gives the effect that you are moving
your head around.
Zoom. Enables you to zoom into and out
of the model. Cursor up zooms in and
cursor down zooms out.
Zoom to a Box. Enables you to drag a box
so that the contents of the box fill the view.
Pan. Enables you to pan the model rather
than the camera.
Orbit. Enables you to orbit the camera
around the model, ensuring that “up” is
always “up”. The camera always orbits
around the focal point of the model.
Examine. Enables you to rotate the model
about.
Fly. Enables you to fly around the model
like in a flight simulator.
Turntable. Enables you to spin the model
around the up vector. This navigation mode
behaves as though the model is sitting on
a turntable, ensuring that “up” is always
“up”.
Walk Mode
In Walk mode, you can navigate through a model as if you were walking
through it. In this mode, the up direction is always maintained.
