Transcript

Use Fly mode to present the model. In this example, we will show the exterior of the building and the entry.

Open a perspective view. Click the Fly Mode icon On the Navigation bar, or hold down the right mouse button and drag to enter the view. Standard keyboard options are suspended while you are using Fly mode.

Hold down the right mouse button and drag the mouse to look around. Use the 4 arrow keys to move the camera in those directions, or use the W key to move forward, the A key to move left, the S key to move back and the D key to move right. Use E to move the camera up and Q to move the camera down, or use the Page Up and Page Down buttons. Use shift and the mouse wheel to control the speed with which you fly through the model. For example, as you approach the door to the building, you need to slow down and adjust the camera height to enter the door. The current speed is shown in the status bar.

Press Escape or start a new command to exit Fly mode. You also can click the Fly Mode icon on the Navigation bar to exit. If you are using the hold and right-click shortcut, just release the right mouse button.

Explore your model with Fly mode in a perspective view.
