• Aircraft Center- Check this option if you wish to keep the entire
aircraft centered in the view.
• Component Center- Check this option to center the view on the
component you are editing. For example, if you are modifying the
rudder, the aircraft will shift, so that the rudder appears in the
center of the preview area.
• Component Origin- Checking this option will focus the view on
the root, or origin, of the component you are currently modifying.
For example, if you have the Main Gear selected, the preview area
will be centered at the location where the Main Gear is attached to
the fuselage.
