• Click Examine on the Navigation Mode toolbar.
Dragging the left mouse button, or using the cursor keys, rotates the model about.
Holding down the Shift key or spinning the mouse wheel, temporarily puts this mode into normal Zoom
mode.
Holding down the Control key, temporarily puts this mode into normal Pan mode.
If the mouse is moving when you let go of the button, the model keeps spinning! Click on it to stop.
Holding the Shift key allows you to zoom in and out.
Flying
The fly mode enables you to fly around the model like in a flight simulator.
To fly through a model:
• On the Viewpoint menu, click Navigation Mode > Fly
or
• Click Fly on the Navigation Mode toolbar.
Holding down the left mouse button moves the camera forward. As in a flight simulator, the left mouse
button banks left/right when dragged left or right and tilts up/down when dragged up or down.
The up and down cursor keys will zoom in and out respectively and the left and right cursor keys will spin
the camera left and right respectively.
Holding down the Shift key speeds up this movement.
Holding down the Control key rotates the camera around its viewing axis, while still moving forward.
Spinning on a Turntable
The turntable mode 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".
To use the turntable:
• On the Viewpoint menu, click Navigation Mode > Turntable
or
• Click Turntable on the Navigation Mode toolbar.
