Selecting a Viewpoint
 Click
the VIEW button on the horizontal toolbar,
or you can use the page down and page up keys, or right-click
to access the pop-up menu and select a viewpoint from the
list of views.
Walking Around
Select the FLY and the PLAN
buttons if they are not already selected. Place the mouse pointer
over any empty space in the scene that is not a link (the pointer
doesn't turn into a hand). Press and hold down the left mouse
button. Drag the mouse in the direction you want to go. The
distance you drag the mouse determines the speed of your movement.
You can go faster by pressing SHIFT, CTRL,
or SHIFT + CTRL keys. You
can tilt the camera up or down by holding down the SPACEBAR
while moving the mouse forward or backwards. Hold down the ALT
key and move the mouse left or right to slide in that direction.
 If
you get lost you can use the RESTORE button
to return to your starting point.
 You
can also use the ALIGN button to restore
the camera to its default angle of tilt.
Navigating with the Keyboard
You can also control the camera using the keyboard.
You have to make the 3d window active before you can use these
commands, ie. click in the window somewhere.
