Walk 3D View

The Walk 3D View tool, located in the toolbar, allows you to position the camera in 3D
space as you would in a video game, using a keyboard-and-mouse navigation method.

If you’re using a scene camera, you can also record the movement you create using the
Walk 3D View tool, by creating keyframes. For more information on keyframing, see

Note: The Walk 3D View tool is available only when Active Camera, Camera, or Perspective
is selected from the Camera menu. For more information on the Camera menu, see
