perspectives by clicking on another position from the Viewpoint

float over the ground. This setting is recommends for easier use. |
Interaction with active objects
|
Hyperlink |
|
If you place the mouse pointer on an animated object, it becomes a star. An animated object becomes a hyperlink if you click on it or click on it and it then drag it. |
Navigation with Go, Slide, Tilt, Rotate, Pan or Zoom can be difficult in a world with active objects. Use the button Search instead. Search takes you directly to the objects without activating them.

Search |

Click on Search and then on an object to bring it closer. |
If your control panel looks as follows,

Use Go, Tilt and Slide, to move
around in 3D- space. See: Movement in a space.
If your control panel looks as follows,
