Walk through improvement

rafa_t — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 10:26:21 GMT

Hello! I recently encountered a problem during my design process - while using walk through mode, the height of our point of view is never the same. Which I realised is unhelpful for getting a sense of scale in our projects. I know I can just set up a pillar with a person's height and align my camera to it but this doesn't allow for actual walking, only a single frame. Does anybody have any tips?

Operating system used: Windows '11 23H2

Hi,

When going through a model with model explore (WASD keys), you can toggle Fly (press F or the button on the bottom left).

That will lock your height at the current level. Spacebar to raise, C to lower, F to lock the height. (at least these are the defaults).

another option; set up cameras/camera path with heights exactly where you want. You can then save that camera path as BIMx and present from that... (I'm hoping you can still save a camera path to bimx, I dunno, it's been a minute since I've used bimx for a presentation medium)

You can adjust the eye height in the settings for when you have gravity active.

This is the desktop version.

I assume it is the same for mobile and web versions.

It doesn't seem to show an actual height, so it is still a bit of a guess.

I am not sure if there is a default setting you can make when you create the BIMx file.
