In Fly mode you can move upward or downward on any
horizontal view plane as you move forward or backward (backward in advanced
mode only).
Two fly modes are available:
Before using the Fly navigation mode, you must be in a perspective view (View->Render Style->Perspective). If you attempt to activate Fly mode, you will be prompted to switch to a perspective view. |
This task shows you how to navigate through a
document in beginner's fly mode.
Note: Beginner's fly mode commands are single-action commands. Releasing the mouse button means you exit the command. You can only move forward in beginner's fly mode. |
|
Insert the platform.model document from the samples folder. | |
These commands are also available via View -> Modify in the menu bar. |

When you collide with a solid object while
flying, you will slide along the object's surface and not fly through the
object, providing a realistic effect. This feature is also available in
Advanced Fly mode.
Pressing the Shift key and dragging lets you bank left or right. You can use the option "Gravitational effects when navigating" in the Visualization tab, accessed via the Tools->Options command, to fix the X, Y or Z axis during navigation. While turning in Fly mode, this creates the impression that the user viewpoint tilts or banks with respect to the fixed axis, as in a real plane. You can also set mouse sensitivity and collision detection using the appropriate options in the Visualization tab, accessed via the Tools->Options command. For more information, see the Infrastructure User's Guide. |
