So some of these tools are pretty obvious. And as you move your mouse around, it'll highlight different areas, and each one is labeled.

What I'm looking at at the moment is called the full navigation wheel, and the full navigation wheel has all of these little areas that you could highlight in this greenish color.

And I'm going to move the steering wheel over here into this gray area just so that there's some contrast and kind of show you the basics. And then once you do that, you should have access to the steering wheel. Now, if you're not seeing the navigation bar, you can go to the View tab, User Interface, and just check the box right here to turn the navigation bar on. All right, so I'm here in this camera and the steering wheel is located over here on the navigation bar, and I'll just sort of click it right there. So if you're following along with me, either use my file or, if you're opening up your own file, just make sure that you're working in a camera view. So I am here in a prospective view and the functions that you're going to see on my steering wheel rely on being in a perspective view. Now, you can actually use the steering wheel in any view, but its functionality is radically different in orthographic views than it is in perspective views. I want to introduce you to the tool if it's not something you've ever used, and if it is something you've used and you kind of tend to not like it, I'm hoping I'll change your mind. So there's definitely some love-hate going on with the steering wheel, and there's certainly plenty of people that have just never encountered it, so my goal here is twofold. So you usually fall into one of those camps. Now, in my experience, the steering wheel tool, it typically is something that people either know about and love, or they know about it and they hate it, or they're just not aware of it. This week, I want to talk about some other useful ways to manipulate a prospective view, but we're going to focus on the steering wheel tool. So if you watched the video last week, we talked about some alternative ways to not only create perspective views, but also to manipulate them in other views using the grip handles and controls and so on. This week, I want to stay on the theme of manipulating perspective views.
