3D viewing just got a lot more exciting! You'll notice a new navigation panel that allows you to rotate from the current viewpoint as if you're turning your head. Use the navigation panel on the right to walk through the room. The new panel to the left allows you to rotate up, down, left and right from a stationary position. Use the small arrows located in the center of the panel to change your elevation—you can float all the way up to the ceiling and capture images of the space from above. For those of you who like to keep it on the keyboard, don't forget we also have keyboard shortcuts for 3D.

In the repeating demo below, while drawing at first without the SHIFT key, you can rotate the line in any direction. When holding the SHIFT key, you can see it snaps to perfect 45 degree angles from the starting point.
