Navigation of a 3D Model

The Navigation Mode button on the 3D viewer toolbar allows you to navigate a 3D model, including orbit, pan, walk, and box select. Click the Navigation Mode button on the 3D toolbar to view your navigation options for your 3D model.

Orbit - Rotates the model. There are two ways to orbit the model:

1. By default, holding down left-click on your mouse will always orbit the model. You might find this quicker than selecting the orbit icon every time.
2. Click the orbit icon in the toolbar. Once selected, holding down left-click on your mouse will orbit the model.

Pan - Scrolls the part or assembly in the Viewer. There are two ways to pan the model:

1. By default, holding down right-click on your mouse will always pan the model. You might find this quicker than selecting the pan icon every time.
2. Click the pan icon in the toolbar. Once selected, holding down left-click on your mouse will pan the model.

Walk - Enables first-person walk through mode when the drawing is under review for markup. This tool allows users to navigate through the model through a point of view mode by clicking and dragging towards a direction.

To edit the settings for Walk mode:

1. Click the ‘Settings’ icon on the 3D toolbar and click the ‘Walk’ tab.
2. Adjust Walk settings and desired and click ‘x’ in the top right corner of the menu to close. Your preferences will save automatically.

Box Select - Selects a grouping of parts within the 3D model. The box select tool is a quick way to highlight multiple parts at once. With the box select tool active, dragging your mouse left to right highlights all the parts within the box, and dragging your mouse right to left highlights all the parts that the box is touching.
