Camera navigation in Lumion
Now that we are inside the
Build
mode, how can we control the camera? The
Build
mode has a very simple interface. Initially, we might feel lost with the lack of
information in the interface. On the right-hand side, there is a set of buttons, and if
we hover the mouse over the one with a question mark, some information appears
that will help us. For now, the information we need is the one located in the top-right
corner; this tells us how to navigate or control the camera in Lumion, as you can see
in the following screenshot:
