Navigation Modes 

Object Mode enables Object Mode navigation - this mode is like reaching into the screen and holding the model in your hand. 
Push the SpaceMouse cap left, and the model moves left. Push right and the model moves right. 
Camera Mode enables using the Controller Cap as if it is a camera. Push into the scene and the camera moves forward into 
the scene. Push left and the camera moves to the left (the scene moves to the right). Lift up and the camera moves up (the 
scene moves down). You are entering the scene as if walking around in it. 
Target Camera Mode enables Target Camera Mode navigation. Manipulate the SpaceMouse cap as if it is a target camera. Push 
into the scene and the camera moves forward into the scene. Push left and the camera moves to the left (the scene moves to 
the right). Lift up and the camera moves up (the scene moves down). When rotating the cap in any direction you will orbit 
around the target point (see Rotation Center below). 
Helicopter Mode enables a Camera Mode navigation but pushing the cap forward while looking down will not change the 
altitude of the camera. 
Lock Horizon forces the horizon to be kept leveled as it currently is. 

 

Rotation Center 

Auto sets the center of rotation dynamically. When the complete model is in view, the center of volume of the whole model is 
used as the rotation point. When you move closer, the center of rotation will be set on an object close to your center of the 
view.  
Use selected Item forces the rotation center to only take the currently selected objects into account. 
Always Show always visualizes the Rotation Center. 
Show on Motion will visualize the Rotation Center only during movement. 
Hide will disable the Rotation Center visualization.
