Adjusting views with the camera tools

By definition, 3D objects can appear different from different angles. You can adjust the camera view to see the object from other directions so that you can identify gaps, make positioning adjustments, and otherwise evaluate and plan your project.

1 Select the Track Z Camera tool (), hidden behind the Unified Camera tool () in the Tools panel. The Track Z Camera tool lets you zoom in and out of a composition view.

2 Click in the left view (Custom View 1) in the Composition panel to ensure it’s active. Then click and drag to the left or down to zoom out from the scene and see the entire book. You may need to click and drag multiple times.

3 Select the Orbit Camera tool (), hidden behind the Track Z Camera tool in the Tools panel. The Orbit Camera tool rotates the current 3D view by moving the camera around the point of interest.

4 Drag the Orbit Camera tool to the left or right in the left view of the Composition window so that you can see the back of the book. Remember, when you’re using the Orbit Camera tool, you’re rotating the view, not the object itself.

5 Drag the Orbit Camera tool again so that you are viewing the front of the book.

6 Select the Selection tool () in the Tools panel, and choose File > Save to save your work so far.
