Motion Tips
-
As you move through the model, the closer you get to your target, the slower the movement rate becomes. The further away from the target, the faster the movement rate.
-
The Move operations enable you to move through solid objects such as walls, doors and slabs.
-
Press ESC to end a navigation operation.
-
To make small left/right/up/down movements, click and hold the middle mouse button as you move in the needed direction. It can sometimes be difficult to make small movements with the mouse and keyboard because the distance of motion for each key press is greater than what is needed. This is especially true when you are close to objects within the 3D model.
Application-Specific Information
Fine Tuning/Customization
-
You can change the Repeat Delay and Repeat Rate keyboard settings to fine-tune your keyboard motion during navigation. For more information, refer to your operating system's documentation on setting keyboard properties.
