Viewing Everything
This function dollies and pans the camera so that the entire model is in view, which is very useful if you
get lost inside a model or lose it completely.
Sometimes on doing a View All, you seem to just get a blank view. This is usually because there are
items that are very small in comparison to the main model located a long way away from the main model.
In these cases, it is best to click on an item in the selection tree and do a View Selected to at least find
your way back to the model before trying to figure out which items are "lost".
To view everything:
• On the Viewpoint menu, click Navigation Tools > View All.
or
• Click View All on the Navigation Tools toolbar.
Viewing Selected Items
This function zooms the camera so that the selected item fills the main navigation view.
To view a selected item:
• On the Viewpoint menu, click Navigation Tools > View Selected
or
• Click View Selected on the Navigation Tools toolbar.
Focusing
This function puts the main navigation view into focus mode until the next click. Left-click on an item and
the view swivels so that the point clicked is in the center of the view. The point clicked becomes the focal
point for examine, orbit, turntable navigation modes.
To focus the camera:
• On the Viewpoint menu, click Navigation Tools > Focus
or
