Simulation»Mode»Camera<br />
When the Camera mode menu bar selection is active, holding the<br />
left-mouse button down while moving the mouse changes the<br />
orientation of the camera. The cursor appears as a four-way arrow<br />
when in Camera mode. This mode can also be activated by selecting the circled button in the VM<br />
Mode toolbar above. While in Camera mode, you can press and hold the Ctrl key to temporarily<br />
switch to Selection mode. This can be used to quickly select objects to rotate about or to attach<br />
the camera to.<br />
There are two types of camera rotation.<br />
1. The default rotation is to keep the camera position fixed but to change where the camera is<br />
aimed. This is similar to how we rotate our head to look around a scene.<br />
2. You can hold the Shift key to change how the camera rotates. When Shift is pressed, the<br />
camera rotates around a point in space. This rotation point is by default the center of the<br />
world or the selected VM Grid object, but can be changed by selecting any object and choosing<br />
Simulation»Camera»Pivot (Ctrl P). As a quick shortcut, double-clicking an object in the<br />
simulation window will set that object as the Pivot center and fit the object in the window.<br />
If you prefer the second form of camera rotation by default, clear the “Default to Look-Around<br />
camera” check-box in the Simulation»Options (Ctrl Alt O) dialog.<br />
Simulation»Mode»Selection<br />
When the Selection mode menu bar selection is active, pressing<br />
the left-mouse button selects the object under the mouse pointer.<br />
The cursor appears as a simple arrow when in Selection mode.<br />
Thus mode can also be activated by selecting the circled button in the VM Mode toolbar above.<br />
While in Selection mode, you can press and hold the Ctrl key to temporarily switch to Camera<br />
mode. This can be used to get a better view of the object you are trying to select.<br />
Selection mode is useful when developing models with QUEST, or to select objects to make them<br />
transparent, or to hide selected objects using the Simulation»Hide Selection (Ctrl B) menu bar<br />
selection.<br />
Simulation»Mode»Measurement<br />
When the Measurement mode menu bar selection is active,<br />
pressing the left-mouse button selects the object under the mouse<br />
pointer for measurement purposes. Measurements can be taken<br />
between any objects, including in-process stock. The cursor appears as an arrow with calipers<br />
when in Measurement mode and measurements are shown in the simulation window. Measurement<br />
mode can also be activated by selecting the circled button in the VM Mode toolbar above.<br />
While in Measurement mode, you can press and hold the Ctrl key to temporarily switch to<br />
Camera mode.<br />
