To Dolly/Elevate the Camera

Select the Define Camera tool ( Visualization > Home > Camera ).

In the tool settings window's icon bar, click the Dolly/Elevate icon.

Turn on Continuous View Updates and Display View Cone.

With the pointer in the camera view, enter a data point.

Move the pointer up/down or left/right to move the camera vertically or horizontally.

As the pointer moves, the camera view updates dynamically, as does the view cone in other open views.

Enter a data point to accept the new view orientation.

Moving the pointer horizontally or vertically, in the camera view (right), moves the view cone horizontally (Top View, top left) or vertically (Front View, bottom left) relative to the camera view.

Note: Moving the whole view cone in this manner keeps the camera and target points in the same positions relative to each other. It makes no difference, whether Eye or Target is set as the Reference Point.

Note: As you move the camera in the camera view, the Eye Pt and Target fields adjust automatically to reflect their new positions. To control the movement of the camera you should use the Controlled Movement setting.

Tip: You can move the camera in predefined steps using the Controlled Movement setting. For these movements, the Distance value of the Controlled Movement Increment fields controls movement.
