Walk Tool
With the Walk tool, you can navigate through a model as if you were walking through it. Once you start
the Walk tool, the Center Circle icon is displayed near the center of the view and the cursor changes to
display a series of arrows. To walk through the model, you drag in the direction in which you want to move
in.
Constrain the Walk Angle
When walking through a model, you can constrain the movement angle to the ground plane. If the Move
parallel to ground plane option is enabled, you can freely walk around while maintaining a constant camera
viewpoint elevation; if the walk angle is not constrained, you will “fly” in the direction you are looking.
Use the Options dialog for the SteeringWheels to constrain the movement angle to the ground plane for
the Walk tool.
Movement Speed
As you walk or “fly” through a model, you can control the movement speed. Movement speed is controlled
by the distance in which the cursor is moved from the Center Circle icon and the current movement speed
setting. You can adjust the movement speed setting permanently and temporarily as you use the Walk tool.
To permanently adjust the movement speed, use the Options dialog for the SteeringWheels or the
< and >
keys when the Walk tool is active. To temporarily increase movement speed, press and hold the + (plus) key
while using the Walk tool.
Change the Elevation
As you use the Walk tool, you can adjust the camera elevation by holding down the SHIFT key. This temporarily
activates the Up/Down tool. With the Up/Down tool active, drag up or down to adjust the elevation of the
camera. You can also use the
UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys as you walk to adjust the height of the view.
To use the Walk tool to move through the model

1 Display a wheel.
2 Right-click the wheel, and click Options.

speed or to the right to increase the walking speed.
