Constrain to Walk Plane

When walking through a model, you can constrain the movement angle to the ground plane. If constrained, you can freely walk around while maintaining a constant camera viewpoint elevation. If it is not constrained, you “fly” in the direction you are looking. Movement when walking is parallel to the ground plane of the model.

2. Right-click the wheel, and click Options.
3. In the Options dialog, under Walk Tool, select Move Parallel To Ground Plane.
4. Click OK.
