3D Viewing Using Constrained Orbit

Use the RollView command to view your model interactively in 3D with the camera moving and the model stationary.

To view the model in 3D using Constrained Orbit:

1. Do one of the following:
   • On the menu, Click View > 3D Orbit > Constrained Orbit.
   • On the ribbon, Click View > Render > Constrained Orbit .
   • Type RollView.
2. In the graphics area, drag the pointer around the model.

   A pivot point  appears in the center of the model. If you selected entities before you entered Constrained Orbit mode, the pivot point appears at the center of the selected entities.

3. In the graphics area, drag the pointer around the model.

   A green pivot point  appears in the center of the model. If you selected entities before you entered Constrained Orbit mode, the pivot point appears at the center of the selected entities.
