Rotate y-axis orthogonal
Menu: Rotate Icon: No short cut
Allows the interactive rotation of the view position about the y-axis
For the interactive rotation around the y-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 y-axis of the display. The virtual glass sphere and the defined path are
displayed during the interaction.
HINT: The y-axis of the screen runs from the bottom to the top 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.
