• Arrow Keys or W (forward), A (left), S (Back), and D (right) - Hold down the right button and drag the mouse to look around while using the four arrow keys or the W (forward), A (left), S (Back), and D (right) to move through the model.
• E (Up), Q (down) - Move up and down in the view. You can also use the Page Up and Page Down keys to move up and down.
• Shift + mouse wheel - Control your speed while moving through the view. Alternatively, use the , (comma key) and . (period key) to speed up or slow down. The current speed is reported in the status bar.
• Esc or select a new command - 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.
