    Look Tool Behavior
    Invert vertical accessInverts the up and down action of the Look tool. See Look Tool.
    Walk Tool
    Move parallel to ground planeWhen walking through a model using the Walk tool, you can constrain the movement angle to the ground plane by selecting this option. You can freely look around while the current view moves parallel to the ground plane.

    When this option is deselected, the walk angle is not constrained and you will “fly” in the direction you are looking so that you can move around the model in any direction or angle.

    See Walk Tool.

    Speed FactorAs you use the Walk tool to walk or “fly” through a model, you can control the movement speed. The speed of movement is controlled by the distance that the cursor is moved from the Center Circle icon. Set the movement speed here.

    See Walk Tool.

    Zoom Tool
    Zoom in one increment with each mouse clickAllows you to zoom the view with a single click. See Zoom Tool.
    Orbit Tool
    Keep scene uprightKeeps the sides of the view perpendicular to the ground plane.

    If you deselect this option, you can orbit the model in full 360 degree motion, which may be useful when you are editing a family.

    See Orbit Tool.
