When Dragging on the ViewCube
|
-
Snap to the closest view
- While being dragged, the ViewCube and the scene rotate in an arcball-like fashion. If Snap to closest view is selected, the viewpoint snaps to one of the fixed views when it is angularly close to one of the fixed views.

When clicking on the ViewCube
|
-
Use animated transitions when switching views
- An animated transition displays when you click on a section of the ViewCube to help visualize the spatial relationship between the current viewpoint and the selected viewpoint.
Note: When navigating about 3D scenes that contain vast amounts of geometry, the application frame rate can drop significantly and make it difficult for the system to smoothly animate a viewpoint transition.
-
Keep model upright
- When clicking on edges, corners, or faces of the ViewCube, the orientation algorithm normally attempts to turn the viewpoint so that upside-down orientations of the scene are avoided.
