Possibility to unlock the camera in aerial view(=first person free flight mode)
Unfortunately i did not find another thread for that: For the 3D-plan there are 2 modes: - Aerial view: center locked, the camera is always centered on the whole plan. I can zoom in and circle around, but thats it. - Virtual visit: View the plan from the eyelevel of a person where you can set the height.
It would be great to have an additional mode: - free flight: Like in a computer game, first person free flight, with WASD for forward, backward, left right from where you currently look at and SPACE for moving up and CTRL for moving down.
The reason i think this might be useful - the tool is often used for testing interior design (As on the homepage mentiones "Sweet Home 3D is a free interior design application" ) which includes in trying out stuff. That means from time to time i just copy the room/flat over some times and rearrange the furniture. There are now 2 choices on how to look at the 3D-plan: - aerial view: the viewport is somewhere and i just have a specific angle to look at stuff that could be really somwhere when i copied the plan 4 times. - Virtual visit: set the height to 5 meters so i get the angle from above i want. If i want another angle from above then the centered one from the aerial view, i need to do that as well.
With a proper free-flight-first-person i can set my "virtual visit" guy to the settings i want, drop them where they should be if i want to check something specific and use the free-flight to check for specific things from the overview. On the layout i'm currently working on.
(i really hope i did not miss the setting where this is possible already :D )

Please, read the help about editing 3D view. Some shortcuts may be just different from some expected ones.

Thanks for your quick answer! I read now through the help and i was aware of some of the stuff already. The new thing was "Center on marked object" - that helps me a lot, but i still think a 'proper' free-flight-first-person-mode would be nice, but i completely understand that you might not have the time to program this. Would be nice, but I think this is pretty low priority, especially considering the "Center on object" setting. :)
