3D Viewing Using Centered Orbit

Use the RollViewCenter command to set the center of rotation for constraint orbit views and start orbit views.

For RollViewCenter, you can specify the pivot point about which you rotate the model.

To view the model in 3D using centered Orbit:

1. Do one of the following:

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

   • On the ribbon, click View > Render > Orbit Center .

   • Type RollViewCenter.

2. In the current view, specify a center point about which you want to rotate the drawing in Constrained Orbit mode.

3. Drag the pointer to rotate the drawing in 3D, similar to the RollView command.

   During dragging, a green pivot point appears at the center point.

4. Optionally, press Shift to display an arcball with four small circles at each quadrant. See Using the Arcball in Constrained Orbit Mode.

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