To Work With 3D View Commands

When working with maps that include 3D data such as raster-based surfaces, display different views in 3D to explore, examine, and analyze the surface from different perspectives.

To switch between 2D and 3D

• On the status bar, click to switch to 3D or to switch to 2D.

To use 3D Zoom

1. On the 3D Navigation toolbar, click 3D Zoom.

   The 3D Navigation toolbar opens when you are in 3D viewing mode.

2. Press ENTER, press ESC, or right-click to exit.

To use 3D Pan

1. On the 3D Navigation toolbar, click 3D Pan.
2. When the hand cursor appears, hold down the button on your pointing device as you move.
3. If you are using a wheel mouse, hold down the wheel button and move the mouse.
4. Press ENTER, press ESC, or right-click to exit.

To use Constrained Orbit or Swivel

To use walk

1. Verify that the “step size”, or distance you move with each step, is large enough for walking through a surface. Enter the STEPSIZE command and make sure it is set to 80 - 1500 or more. The number you want to use may depend on your zoom level.
2. On the 3D Navigation toolbar, click Walk.
3. A window appears describing the keyboard control you use for the walk. Using the arrow keys is one of the convenient options. Click OK.
4. Wait briefly as the Position Locator palette appears. Review, change settings as needed, and then minimize or close it.
5. Use the keyboard buttons to walk through your surface. For example, use the up arrow key to move forward.
6. Press ENTER or ESC when you are done.

To change the Visual Style

1. Enter the VISUALSTYLES command.
