Rotate x-axis orthogonal
Menu: Rotate Icon: No short cut
Allows the interactive rotation of the view position about the x-axis
For the interactive rotation about the x-axis of the screen a so called “Arcball” is used. You can
imagine it as a virtual glass sphere containing the model. A path between two points on the
surface of the virtual glass sphere defines a rotation of the view. Such a path is defined by
clicking and dragging the mouse. The path is automatically restricted, so the rotation is only
possible around the x-axis of the display. During the interaction the virtual glass sphere and the
defined path are displayed.
HINT:The x-axis of the screen runs from the left to the right side from the users point of view.
HINT:By returning to the start point of the path, the original rotation of the view can be restored.
