The target point defines the axis of rotation for a 3D view. You can rotate a 3D view about this axis by modifying the camera level and its focal point. You can tile your project views to see the effects of the rotation in different views.

1. Open the 3D view and any other views where you want to see the effects of rotation.
2. Click View tabWindows panel (Tile Views).
3. In the Project Browser, right-click the 3D view name, and select Show Camera.
