Accessible from the Visualisation, Daylighting and CFD screens at Building level
When you are at building level, the Look Around view command allows you to change the direction of camera view using the mouse . It allows you to obtain specific views of the model more quickly than is possible using the normal Orbit, Zoom, Pan etc tools. For example to look more closely at a particular area of a CFD results slice or to gain a specific interior view when analysing shading on the Visualisation screen.
While holding the mouse left button down, move the mouse around the screen in the direction you wish to view. Move the mouse cursor up the screen to look up and down the screen to look down. Likewise, to look left move the mouse to the left of the screen, and to look right move the mouse to the right of the screen. You can combine forward/backward/left/right view changes by moving the mouse diagonally towards the appropriate corner.
Other tools often used together with the Look Around tool are Walk-Through and Orbit (to change the camera direction), and Pan to move vertically up and down, which is not possible with the Walk-through command.
