The Walk and Fly Modes

iClone provides two modes to navigate the current project, Walk and Fly. You may then manipulate the camera view by the combination of hotkeys and mouse movements.

You may switch between these two modes by clicking the rightmost down arrow button in the control bar.

Difference

In Walk mode, the camera will follow the terrain as you move the camera. While in the Fly mode, the camera is free from the restrictions of the terrain.

  • Walk Mode

  • shows in the center of the 3D
    viewer

  • The camera moves along the folds of the
    terrain

  • Fly Mode

  • shows in the center of the 3D
    viewer

  • The camera moves and ignores the folds of
    the terrain

    • Manipulation

    Both of the modes use the same method to control the camera to move:
