Navigate
The plugin lets you explore your scene, at a fixed eye height above mesh terrain.
It only runs on Windows.
It is simple to use and moves you around at 2.5 m/s regardless of framerates. It asks you to pick a point on the mesh surface you want to walk on and moves you to that point. It only runs in a perspective view of course.
How to use Navigate:
Look around by moving your mouse.
Move forward by holding the left mouse button down.
End Navigate by right clicking the mouse.
When you come to the edge of the mesh it will follow the edge instead of “falling off”.
Navigate takes control over the cursor and positions it at the center of the perspective view. This is released the moment the command is terminated, and Navigate automatically terminates if Rhino no longer is the active window.
Note: Navigate has a slower FPS than normal navigation due to the computations it requires to position the camera and target.
This is beta software so crashes can happen, even on the system level, so please save before use and use it on your own risk.
What the heck happened to this idea/feature? I’m soooooooooo tired of typing zoom when trying to walk around inside of architectural models…. Honestly rhino could replace Navisworks for 3-D model coordination if it just could fix the architectural navigation tools.
Wim, Thank you…. to add some incentive to the team I will purchase not 1 but 2 new rhino license to my stable of 3 if you get this feature working. May I also add for those of you out there that say why not use a 3d mouse… it use to work well but now the rhino implimentation which is better than the manufacture can not be overidden properly without uninstalling the drivers.
