move


Purpose
To move the currently active camera left, right, up or down.

Usage
Click the move button to activate it. By holding the middle mouse button down while moving the mouse, the camera in the currently active window will be moved until you press the left mouse button. If keyboard is active, a numerical entry will be required. You will receive the following prompt in the status area:

x?

In response to this prompt, type the distance that you want the camera to move left or right. If you do not want to move in that direction, simply press <Enter> and you will be passed to the next prompt. Repeat these steps for the y prompt for up and down.

Comments
As in the real world, if the camera is moved to the right, the objects in front of the camera will appear to move to the left. The same applies for pan, tilt, and roll. The camera position may also be moved numerically with the x, y, and z input boxes in the status area.

Using the x, y, and z input boxes, a camera position relative to the world coordinate system can be entered.
