When you navigate a 3D model, you can use the realism tools on the
Viewpoint tab ➤ Navigate panel to control the speed and realism of your
navigation. The realism tools are not available in a 2D workspace.
Gravity
NOTE This function only works in connection with collision.
Where collision gives you mass, gravity gives you weight. As such, you (as the
collision volume) will be pulled downwards whilst walking through the scene.
NOTE Gravity can only be used with the Walk navigation tool.
This allows you to walk down stairs, for example, or follow terrain.
To toggle gravity
■ When using the Walk tool, click Viewpoint tab ➤ Navigate panel
➤ Realism drop-down
➤ Gravity check box.
