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 3dorbit_orbit_continuous .

    • Type RollViewContinuous.

  1. In the graphics area, drag the pointer.

    A green pivot point 3dorbit_pivot_point appears where you clicked and is the center for the rotation.

  1. 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.

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