Rotate views with Orbit commands

Rotate views with Free Orbit and Constrained Orbit commands

Use Free Orbit on the Navigation bar to rotate models in screen space:

• On the Navigation bar Free Orbit
• Moving the mouse left-right rotates the view about the vertical screen axis.
• Moving the mouse away or toward you rotates the view about the horizontal screen axis.
• Rotation is about the last defined pivot point. Right-click to define a new pivot point.

Use Constrained Orbit to rotate the model about the vertical axis:

• On the Navigation bar Constrained Orbit
• Moving the mouse left or right rotates the view about vertical axis, where vertical is based on the normal to the Top face of the ViewCube.
• Rotation is about the last defined pivot point. Right-click to define a new pivot point, or click the Center tool in the Navigation bar.

You can rotate the view using these commands while other commands are active.
