To conduct a walkthrough of a model:

Click the tool and mode.

Click the drawing and hold the mouse button to perform the walkthrough.

The first click inside the drawing, indicated by a small cross, establishes the control point of the walkthrough. The control point lets you manage the pace of the walkthrough. The farther away from the control point the cursor moves, the faster the walkthrough. Return the cursor to the control point to slow or pause the movement. To stop the walkthrough, release the mouse button.

Move the cursor up (forward), down (backward), left, and right to walk through the drawing.

The Data bar provides real-time information about the walkthrough.

To change the viewing angle or viewer height, combine the movement with a modifier key.
