Fly

Move forward through the model, with fixed velocity, in the direction of the cursor

Walk

Move forward and backward through the model at a fixed elevation, using the cursor to steer left and right.

Velocity is determined by how far the cursor is dragged up/down the screen

Clip

To modify the clipping volume, drag the sides of the clipping box

This tool is active only when an item is selected.

When a selected element is clipped, the Hide button is displayed allowing visibility of the clipping box to be toggled on and off
