How to control the camera?
To control the camera, the mouse must be placed anywhere in the 3D-room viewport window. (NOTE: When the mouse hovers dirctly over modles or some menus, key presses and mouse clicks have a different effects and properties.)
- In order to 'pan' or move the camera left or right:
→ Mouse: hold left button down while cursor is in viewport and on the room,
- In order to 'zoom' and free camera move forwards and backwards:
→ Mouse: hold right button down while cursor is in viewport and on the room,
→ Mouse: hold both buttons on the room,
- In order to move the camera up and down:
→ Mouse: scroll wheel while on the room
- In order to move up and down if you don't have a wheel mouse:
→ Mouse: hold both buttons on the room
- In order to look at a different viewport area:
→ Mouse: hold left button on the room
- If the camera gets stuck, or you become disoriented in the room
- Alternate: Press the 'R' in the onscreen Camera Controls area top right hand corner
Tip 1: release the button while the white circle is over a person to keep that point as the new focus point.
Tip 2: while holding the left button, use the keys to fly around the room. Use mouse movements to control the direction.
