Look Tool

Rotates the current view vertically and horizontally. When rotating the view, your line of sight rotates about the current eye position, like turning your head. The Look tool can be compared to you standing in a fixed location, and looking up or down while turning your head left or right.

Adjust the view of the model by dragging the cursor. As you drag, the cursor changes to the Look cursor and the model rotates around the location of the current view.

Walk through Models

When using the Look tool on the big Full Navigation wheel, you can walk through a model by using the arrow keys on the keyboard. Use the Options dialog box for the SteeringWheels to adjust the walk tool.

Invert Vertical Axis

When you drag the cursor upward, the target point of the view lowers; dragging the cursor downward raises the target point of the view. Use the properties dialog box for the SteeringWheels to invert the vertical axis for the Look tool.
