User Interactive Tools |
| |
User Interactive Tools allow you to select the current mode
of interaction with the View. The selected tool is referred to
as the current tool.
The main Tool groups are Camera tools and Instance tools. Camera
tools allow you to change the way the model is displayed, for
example, to rotate and move the camera with the mouse. Instance
Object tools allow you to transform the model, for example, to
move or rotate some parts of the model individually with the
mouse. In this case, the action takes place on just one instance
object which is referred to as the current instance object.
A tool’s action generally consists of two steps. Click first on
any point in the View or on the object itself and then, holding
the left mouse button, perform the chosen action by moving the
mouse. This way, the View gets constantly updated until the
mouse button is released.
Some actions are performed by moving the mouse only horizontally
or vertically while other actions require both movements.
