Movement in the 3D space of the browser can be done with the mouse, keyboard and specialised functions. The use of these functions is independent of the measurement functions and can be used simultaneously without interrupting the measurement.

In the default mode, the model shifts in the horizontal plane. This mode is suitable for horizontally oriented 3D models, such as excavations.

Alternatively, Vertical Shift (#6 above) can be activated to shift the plane in which the 3D space is rotated. This mode is suitable for vertically oriented 3D models, such as sculptures.
