Orbiting through perspective views
We can change our view in a few different ways. Orbiting is the process of moving around the model in a 3D path. You can orbit by clicking and dragging the view cube in the top-left corner of the design window, as shown in Figure 3.5:

The view cube always refers to the angle at which you’re currently viewing your model. You can also click on any side or edge of the view cube to snap to a specific view. For example, if we wanted to look at the top right-hand side of our model, we could click on the top-right edge of the view cube, as shown in Figure 3.5.
If you’re using a mouse, you can right-click and drag the cursor anywhere in the design window to orbit in the same way we can click and drag the view cube. We can also pan using a mouse by clicking the scroll wheel and dragging across our design window. Panning doesn’t move in a 3D...
