In the Aholo Editor, you can freely navigate and explore 3D scenes or models using your mouse and keyboard shortcuts.

Mastering camera controls helps you inspect details more efficiently, adjust viewpoints, and perform editing tasks with ease.

Basic Controls

You can control the camera using the following actions:

Camera View Settings

1. Set Default View

You can set the current view as the default view. This determines:

• The initial view when the model is opened

• The first impression when sharing

Steps:

1. Adjust the project to your desired angle

2. Click “Set Current View as Default”

Tips:

• For objects: Choose a front view or a 45° angle to highlight shape and details

• For spaces: Choose a position that showcases the overall layout

2. Reset View

• Shortcut: R

• Or click the “Reset View” button

Quickly returns the camera to the default view.

Camera Modes

Aholo provides two camera modes:

1. Fly Mode

Best for:

• Viewing overall structure

• Analyzing spatial layout

• Measuring dimensions

2. Orbit Mode

Best for:

• Indoor / outdoor navigation

• Immersive viewing

• Simulating real-world perspective

How to switch:

Tips for Better Control

For a smoother experience, we recommend:

• Use rotate + zoom first to find a good overall view

• Then use W/A/S/D for fine adjustments

• Set a proper default view before editing

• Switch camera modes based on your task

What’s Next

Once you’re familiar with camera controls, you can continue with:

• Cropping Point Clouds / Gaussian Splats (optimize model range)
