3D Viewing Using Continuous Orbit

Use the RollViewContinuous command to rotate the view in 3D with continuous motion about a pivot point.

To view the model in 3D using continuous Orbit:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • On the menu, click View > 3D Orbit > Continuous Orbit.
    • On the ribbon, click View > Render > Continuous Orbit .
    • Type RollViewContinuous.
  2. In the graphics area, drag the pointer.

    A green pivot point  appears where you clicked and is the center for the rotation.

  3. Release the mouse button.

    The orbit view keeps spins in the direction of the drag.

    Note: The arcball feature is not available in this Constrained Orbit mode.

  4. Press Esc or Enter to exit Constrained Orbit mode.
