Look Tool
The Look tool rotates the view horizontally and vertically around a fixed point.
With the Look tool, you can rotate the current view vertically and horizontally. When rotating the view,
the model is rotated around a fixed point defined by the center of the current view. The Look tool can be
compared to you standing in a fixed location, and looking up and down while rotating left to right around
a fixed point.
When using the Look tool, you adjust the view of the model by dragging the cursor. As you drag the cursor,
the cursor icon changes to the Look cursor and the model rotates around the location of the current view.

Invert Vertical Axis

the target point of the view. If you do not like this behavior you can change it so moving the cursor upward
lowers the target point of the view and downward raises the target point of the view. To invert the vertical
axis for the Look tool, you use the SteeringWheels Options dialog box.
