Navigating 3D scenes

Large 3D models that contain internal details are called 3D scenes. You can navigate 3D scenes using controls in SMART Notebook software.

Note

You can use the 3D scene features to navigate any 3D model. However, not all 3D models contain internal details. If you enter the interior of a 3D model that doesn’t contain internal details, the interior appears empty.

To navigate a 3D scene

Select the 3D scene.
Press the 3D scene’s menu arrow, and then select Enter 3D Scene.

SMART Notebook software displays the 3D scene in Full Screen mode. A map of the 3D scene, navigation controls and the Close button appear.
Tips
- You can press the gray border of the map to drag it to another area of the page if it’s covering materials you want to present. You can also resize the map by pressing the gray border in the lower-right corner and then dragging.
- You can drag the navigation controls to other areas of the page if they’re covering materials you want to present.

Navigate the 3D scene using the navigation control buttons.
