3D Design Options

Working in 3D View:

Modify Options:

When you choose either the Box Model or the Book Model you have the four Modify Options avaiable to change your 3D representation in the viewport.

Camera: Enables camera orientation, and zoom modification. When you hold down your left-mouse button and move the cursor you will be able to move the image to any possible angle you want. Remember, by locking either the X or Y axis you will prevent the other axis from moving. When you hold down your right-mouse button and move the cursor you will be able to move the image up and down and side ways.

Light: Enables selected light orientation and distance modification. When you hold down your left-mouse button and move the cursor you will be able to select the light orientation. When you hold down your right-mouse button and move the cursor you will be able to modify the distance of the light.

Scaling: Enables model uniform and non-uniform scaling modification. Again the left-mouse button controls the uniform scaling and the right-mouse button controls the non-uniform scaling

Rotation: Enables model rotation modification. Again here with left-mouse and right-mouse button manipulation you can rotate the image to any angle.

Opened Book - A1: As you can see with A1 you can turn the page with left-mouse button movement.

CD - A1, A2 and A3: A1 will allow you to open and close the CD cover. In A2 the left-mouse buttom will move the CD in and out of the CD case and the right-mouse button will move the CD away and back towards the CD case.
