3D Walk and Fly Commands in ActCAD

3DWALK()

3DWALK allows you to view the model as though you are walking through it.

3DFLY()

Allows you to view the model as though you are flying through or around it.

Use the Walk and Fly Settings dialog box to specify the navigation settings you want to use.

Use the mouse and arrow keys to walk through the drawing. Press Esc or Enter to exit: Click and drag in the drawing to walk through the model, or use the arrow keys on the keyboard. When finished, release the mouse button. Repeat to walk again. When finished, press Enter, right-click the drawing, or press Esc.

Drawings can be viewed as though you are walking or flying through them. When you walk through a drawing, you navigate along the xy plane. When you fly through a drawing, you navigate “above” the model, unrestricted by the xy plane.
