Navigating through the Model
By default, a Solution file is loaded with the camera
position that was set when it was last saved. You
cannot specify an explicit camera position in
LSViewer, but you can use the navigation controls to
interactively change the view of the model in the
LSViewer window.
When you select one of the interactive navigation
modes (Walk, Orbit, Dolly, or Zoom), the left mouse
button is used to interactively change the view. Any
movement with the mouse in the window changes the
view, based on the view control selected.
To navigate through the model:
1.
Choose an option from the Navigation menu, or
click the corresponding button on the toolbar.
2.
To exit the current navigation mode, choose
Navigation | None, or click the None button on
the toolbar.
None
Use this option to disable navigation through the
model.
Auto Orbit
Use this option to cause the model to continuously
rotate around the focus point of the current view.
Auto Flip
Use this option to cause the model to continuously
flip around the center point.
Walk
Use this navigation mode to use the mouse to interac-
tively “walk through” the model. The view follows the
direction of the mouse movement in the LSViewer
window.
To use Walk:
1.
To move through the model, drag the mouse in
the window.
2. To increase the walkthrough speed, move the
mouse farther away from the center of the LSViewer
window. To decrease the speed, move the mouse clos-
er to the center of the window.
Orbit
Use this navigation mode to orbit around the model.
The viewer position rotates around the focus point in
all three axes. The direction of the mouse movement
controls the angle of orbit.
Dolly
Use this navigation mode to move the viewer position
forward or backward along the view path.
To use Dolly:
1.
To move the viewer position forward, drag the
mouse upward in the window.
2.
To move the viewer position backward, drag the
mouse downward in the window.
Zoom
Use this navigation mode to zoom in or out on the
model.
