Orbit to inside a component

SketchUp

How do you orbit to inside a component?

2

Zoom into it and then use Pan(the hand) and Look around(the eye). The Orbit tool can still be used but it is a bit restrictive inside a component. Using these tools all together you can do it.

In case you are in Parallel view mode you can’t get inside a component, get into Perspective view.

Thanks Elisei,

It was the zooming to inside the component that I was missing. Your other tips are very helpful also.

Ironically, this is a situation in which the same clipping behavior that causes so many problems with large models is actually doing something useful! :smirk:
