VRED offers various ways to navigate the 3D world in the Interaction > Navigation menu.

• Enabled - Enables and disables mouse navigation.
• Trackball - Enables navigation around all axes. Use this mode when working with a 3-axis trackball mouse.
• TwoAxis - Enables navigation around two axes. This is the standard mode when using a mouse.
• Fly - LMB-click to go forward and RMB-click to go backward. Steer moving the mouse horizontally or vertically.
• Orientation - Sets the position of the virtual camera. Use this to simulate the dirver's point of view inside the vehicle.
• Orbit Mode - Enables orbit navigation mode.
• Auto Center - Rotates navigation around the center of your image. Use double-LMB or double-RMB-click to choose the point to rotate around.
• Animate Camera Change - Animates changes in view; for example, after double-RMB-clicking in the render view to set the rotation pivot.
• Motion Factor - Sets the sensitivity to motion.

To set a default navigation mode, see the Navigator Preferences.
