Navigation

InEight Model allows you to move through, zoom, pan, and change perspectives within the 3D space surrounding your model. To begin, load or open a model. The navigation widget will appear in the top, right corner of your window and will rotate as you navigate to indicate your camera’s position and direction in space.

If the navigation widget is not present in the top, right corner of your screen, there is nothing to navigate; load a model.

In InEight Model, the viewer interaction is focused on the center of the view and not the model objects. This allows you to see all objects from your camera perspective as you navigate and interact with objects. To quickly return to the designated “home” view of a model, you can navigate up to the menu, click View, and select Home Position from the drop-down menu.
