Crouching

This function only works in connection with collision detection

When walking around the model with collision detection activated, you may encounter object that are too low to walk under, a low pipe for example. This function enables you to crouch under any such objects.

With crouching activated, you will automatically crouch under any objects that you cannot walk under at your specified height, thereby not impeding your navigation around the model.

If however, you are using collision detection to identify areas of the model that you cannot walk under, (again, using a low pipe for example) then there is also a temporary crouch function to allow navigation to proceed once the obstacle has been identified.

To activate crouching:

• In the Walk or Fly navigation mode, go to Viewpoint, Navigation Tools, Crouch

or

• Click Crouch on the Navigation Tools toolbar.

or, if you only want to temporarily crouch

• Hold down the Space bar to turn crouching on. Releasing it will turn it off again.
