This is the default camera mode. It provides different views based on the zoom level this camera is in. Close to the ground the camera is angled to provide a perspective in the [[3D Visualization]]. When zooming out the camera will slowly settle into a cardinally-locked top-down perspective.


; Left mouse button (hold)
The available camera modes are:
: Drag the camera along a flat plane, depending on the location the left mouse button was pressed.
* [[#Standard|Standard]] camera modes that you can control by using the mouse and allow interaction with the [[3D Visualization]].  
; Right mouse button (hold) or middle mouse button (hold)
* [[#Walking|Walking]] camera modes that allow you to take a close look and walk through the [[3D Visualization]] from the perspective of a person.
: Move the mouse left and right to rotate the camera around the upward axis defined by point the camera is currently looking at.
* [[#Automatic|Automatic]] camera modes that guide the user through the [[3D Visualization]] along predefined paths.
Move the mouse up and down to change the perspective angle. The perspective angle can be limited, depending on the zoom level of the camera.
; Scroll wheel up-down
: Zoom in and out one zoom level respectively.

: Rotate the camera directly above point the camera is currently looking at, along the vertical axis extending from that point. But only when low enough.
Walking camera modes are accessed by continuously zooming in while in the [[#standard|standard]] camera modes. Zooming out from the walking camera modes allow you to return to the previously selected [[#standard|standard]] camera mode.

The Camera provides a particular view of project in the 3D Visualization. The user can choose between different camera modes. Each camera mode has a particular way of navigation controls attached to it.

The available camera modes are:

Standard

The available standard camera modes are:

You can switch between these modes by clicking on the corresponding icon in the navigation panel: Camera standard icon.pngCamera top down icon.pngCamera free icon.png

Walking

The available walking camera modes are:

Walking camera modes are accessed by continuously zooming in while in the standard camera modes. Zooming out from the walking camera modes allow you to return to the previously selected standard camera mode.

You can switch between these walking modes by:

  • Clicking on the Camera walk icon.pngCamera walk under icon.png icon in the navigation panel.
  • Pressing the space key on your keyboard.

Automatic

The available automatic camera modes are:
