To adjust the distance between the current point of view and the pivot point
you use the Drag Distance indicator. The Drag Distance indicator has two
marks on it that show the start and destination distances from the current
point of view. The current traveled distance is shown by the orange position
indicator. Slide the indicator forward or backwards to decrease or increase the
distance towards the pivot point.
To reorient a view by moving towards or away from the model
1 Display the big Tour Building wheel.
2 Click and hold down the Forward wedge.
The Drag Distance indicator is displayed.
NOTE If you click the Forward wedge once, the model moves forward 50%
of the distance between the current location and the pivot point.
3 Drag the cursor up or down to change the distance from which you view
the model.
4 Release the button on your pointing device to return to the wheel.
Look Tool
With the Look tool, you can rotate the current view vertically and horizontally.
When rotating the view, your line of sight rotates about the current eye
position, like turning your head. The Look tool can be compared to standing
in a fixed location, and looking up, down, left or right.
When using the Look tool, you adjust the view of the model by dragging the
cursor. As you drag, the cursor changes to the Look cursor and the model
rotates around the location of the current view.
