3D Viewing Using Horizontal Orbit

Use the RollViewHorizontal command to swivel the view of your model horizontally about an imaginary vertical axis.

To view the model in 3D using horizontal orbit:

  1. Do one of the following:

    • On the menu, click View > 3D Orbit > Horizontal Orbit.

    • On the ribbon, click View > Render > Horizontal Orbit 3dorbit_orbit_horizontal .

    • Type RollViewHorizontal.

  2. In the graphics area, drag the pointer.

    A green pivot point 3dorbit_pivot_point appears in the center of the model. If you selected entities before you entered Constrained Orbit mode, the pivot point appears at the center of the selected entities.

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

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