Viewport Camera Tools
The Camera tools help you adjust how a model appears within a LayOut document. To start using the Camera tools, you need to enable editing the view by selecting your SketchUp model and performing one of the following actions:
- Context-click the selection and choose Edit 3D View.
- Double-click the selection.
- Press Enter.
While editing the view of a SketchUp model you can use the following tools:
- Pan (
)
- Orbit (
)
- Zoom (
)
- Zoom Window (
)
- Look Around (
)
- Walk (
)
The Pan tool will be activated by default. You can context click anywhere inside the viewport and select Camera Tools to change to a different tool.

Tip: These tools work a lot like they do in SketchUp. For example, you can click and hold down the center mouse button of a 3-button mouse to activate Orbit. See Viewing a Model for information on the Orbit, Pan, and Zoom tools and Walking Through a Model for details on using Look Around and Walk.
