-
Rotate to see how the objects, 3D
compass and the absolute axis are rotated together.
-
Point to the compass.
-
Drag any axis on the compass.
The viewpoint is panned along the direction of the
axis. For example, dragging the Z axis upwards pans up along the Z
axis like this: |
|
-
Drag an arc on the compass.
For example, dragging the arc YZ to the right
rotates the objects in the plane subtended by the arc YZ like this:
|
|
Dragging close to the red square rotates the
objects quickly; dragging further away from the red square rotates
more slowly. The rotation axis used is the same as that used when
rotating using the other rotation tools. |
-
Drag a plane on the compass.
For example, dragging to
the right the plane subtended by the arc ZY moves the objects on
the same plane like this: |
|
|
Select View > Render Style >
Perspective to perceive the effect more easily. |
-
Drag the free rotation handle (the point at the top of
the compass) to rotate the objects freely like this:
-
Point to either X, Y or Z to highlight the letter, then
click the letter to make that axis perpendicular to your eye-point.
Clicking the same letter reverses the point from
which you view the objects. For example, clicking the letter Z lets
you view the document along the Z axis like this: |
