Can't exit Fly mode in 3D navigation.

[Anonymous]

Can't seem to exit Fly mode. I've pressed "f" and "ESC", and it doesn't work. Is there a way to reset navigation mode?

Thanks

Do you mean when you are just in the 3D window?
There is no 'Fly' mode here.

Only when you go into the "Explore" mode can the fly mode be turned on and off with the 'F' key.
ESC will exit the explore mode and return you to the 3D window.

Yes, I meant on explore mode. And yes I tried F and ESC, neither will get me out of fly mode. I’m stuck without the ability to move forward.

The arrow keys or WASD keys are used to move.
Fly mode just means you will be stuck on the ground or you can fly upward if you look up (by moving the mouse) and move forward (arrow or W).

If the keyboard shourtcuts are not working then you may have another program running in the background that is hijacking those shortcuts.

Thank you all. There was something wring with my keyboard. Seems like a key was pressed internally.

Caleb, I just updated to 4005 and am now having the same problem on my Mac. Despite this being a MacBook Pro I don't have any key issues and am just stuck in place. No escape key and no f key. How did you get out of this?

I haven't experienced the same problem recently since I changed my keyboard, ...but I'm still not certain, as I have experienced some other "interesting" click issues. Before changing my keyboard, the only way I could get out of that would be resetting the computer. I hope I had a better answer.

I'm having the same problem, I can enter the "Walk" mode but while I can look around with the mouse I cannot move at all. This was working just yesterday. I have not upgraded any software or hardware between yesterday and today. It just randomly stopped working. I have quit and reopened ArchiCAD, the only thing I have not yet tried is rebooting.
