Notice the camera has not moved due to any zooming.



Now, an uncropped perspective example...



Spin the wheel and you move the camera. Notice we are now past the partial height wall around the conference space.



Revealing the camera location again, we see it actually moved. And, for good... unless we use the Navigation Wheel's Rewind tool.



Another helpful tool within the Navigation Wheel, is the Look command. Click and drag to "look" around without moving your feet... and avoid messing up the eye level height relative to the floor.



One last comment, Uncropped perspective views cannot be placed on sheets for obvious reasons...
