Orbit and Pivot Point

As mentioned earlier, the actual behavior of the Orbit control is the same as earlier releases, as long as you selected Free Orbit on the ribbon.

1. Click and hold Orbit, and then drag the cursor. If Constrained Orbit is selected, then the Orbit control honors that setting.

   Notice that a Pivot indicator appears on screen as you orbit. The indicator provides positive feedback as to the orbit center point location. You can modify the pivot point and snap to model edges and vertices.

2. Press and hold Center, select a vertex, and then release the mouse button. The orbit center point is now that vertex.
