Patent number: 10564798Abstract: A navigation system for navigating a three-dimensional (3D) scene that includes a model or object with which a user can interact. The system accommodates and helps both novice and advanced users. To do this, the system allows a user to move up and down within a scene relative to an up axis of the scene without the user being displaced horizontally. A scale is provided that shows the user the relative position of the current view in the vertical bounding box of the scene.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2008Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: AUTODESK, INC.Inventors: George Fitzmaurice, Justin Matejka, Igor Mordatch, Gord Kurtenbach
