Using the mouse:

The easiest way to control the camera is using the mouse.

• The camera can be panned by clicking and holding the right mouse button.
• Drag the mouse to pan the camera to the desired look-at point.
• The camera can be zoomed in and out by scrolling the mouse wheel up or down.
• The camera can be moved by holding down the middle mouse button (the scroll wheel) and moving the mouse.

On-Screen Navigation Controls: In the lower left corner of the screen are the on-screen navigation controls. Clicking on the buttons located here gives the ability to pan (rotate), move, and zoom the camera. For moving and panning, clicking and holding the left mouse button will repeat the desired action.

Using the keyboard:

The following keys perform camera actions:

• Arrow Keys: Move the camera in the direction of the arrow key
• Shift+Arrow Keys: Rotate the camera in the direction of the arrow key
• Ctrl+R: Reset the camera to its default position
• Page Up: Raise the elevation of the camera
• Page Down: Lower the elevation of the camera
• Home: Zoom the camera in
• End: Zoom the camera out

Additional Camera Navigation Tips:

• When first learning how to navigate the interior rooms of your project using the mouse, save often. Accidentally using a left-click instead of a right-click may move a perfectly placed wall or piece of furniture. Undo is always there for you in the caption bar.
• To view a room as if you were standing inside of it, you will need to zoom in until you go through the walls and into the room.
• Using the mouse to navigate is really the easiest method, try it out!

Camera Modes:

• Orbit Mode: When in Orbit Mode, the camera will move around the look-at point when rotated, keeping the look-at point in the center of the screen.
• Rotate Mode: When in Rotate Mode, the camera will remain in a fixed position and rotate towards the rotation direction.
