Look Around Tool

Use the Look Around Tool to pivot the camera (your view) around a stationary point. The Look Around Tool behaves similarly to a person standing still while turning their head to up, down (tilt), and side to side (pan). The Look Around Tool is particularly useful for viewing the inside of spaces, or to evaluate visibility after using the Position Camera Tool. Activate the Look Around Tool from either the Walkthrough Toolbar or the Camera menu.

Looking Around

The Look Around Tool performs tilt and pan operations. To tilt and pan using the Look Around Tool:

1. Select the Look Around Tool. The cursor changes to a pair of eyes.
2. Click to start pivot.
3. Move the cursor up or down to tilt; right or left to pan.

Specifying an Eye Height

Type the eye height for the camera in the VCB and press the Enter or Return key to change the height above the ground plane for the camera.
