Walk and Look

The Walk and Look controls work especially well when used in conjunction with each other. The controls only function when in Perspective mode. If you are in Orthographic mode, when you click either control, the camera automatically switches to Perspective mode.

Before proceeding with the following steps, right-click the wheel and select Options. Clear the checkmark next to Walk Tool - Constrain movement to ground plane. Click OK.

1. Orient the model as shown. Press and hold Walk. Move the mouse forward, and the camera moves through the model. Move the mouse to the side, and the camera moves laterally. Release the mouse button.

   The walk speed is proportional to the cursor distance from walk origin indicator.

2. Press and hold Look. Move the mouse, and the camera pivots around a fixed point in that direction.

3. Now use the controls in conjunction. Press Walk to move through the model, then press Look to turn and look down the next “walk path.” Use the Walk control again to move down that line of sight.
