3 While holding down the button on your pointing device, drag to the left or to the right to restore a previous
view.
Dragging to the left restores an older previous view. Dragging to the right restores a view that is newer than
the one you are currently viewing. You must have previously used the Rewind tool to see views available
on the right. The current position in the navigation history is indicated by the orange box that is dragged
along the Rewind History panel.
Up/Down Tool
Unlike the Pan tool, you use the UP/Down tool to adjust the height of the current viewpoint along the model's
Z axis. To adjust the vertical elevation of the current view, you drag up or down. As you drag, the current elevation
and the allowed range of motion is displayed on a graphical element called the Vertical Distance indicator.
The Vertical Distance indicator has two marks that show the highest (Top) and lowest (Bottom) elevation the
view can have. While changing the elevation with the Vertical Distance indicator, the current elevation is shown
by the bright orange indicator, while the previous elevation is shown by the dim orange indicator.
To change the elevation of a view
1 Display one of the Full Navigation wheels or the Tour Building wheels.
2 Click and hold down the Up/Down wedge.
The Vertical Distance indicator is displayed.
3 Drag up or down to change the elevation of the view.
4 Release the button on your pointing device to return to the wheel.
Walk Tool
With the Walk tool, you can navigate through a model as if you were walking through it. Once you start the
Walk tool, the Center Circle icon is displayed near the center of the view and the cursor changes to display a
series of arrows. To walk through the model, you drag in the direction in which you want to move in.
