Moving into the 3D space

Hi, everyone!



I'm learning to use 3D modellating in AutoCAD 2002, and would like to move inside a 3D house. Is there any command for walking inside the model, passing through the walls (something like track or dooly tool present in other software packages, like VIZ)?



I tried the command for setting the distance of the camera but, if I have a wall in front of me, the visual keeps beeing obstructed by is (just like as I were using the zoom tool, except for the perspective change).



Is here any way for doing what I need?



Thanx in advance.

Thanx, but I asked for AutoCAD: Can't AutoCAD do that? I (well, actually not me but a friend) am using AutoCAD, and would like to know wheter this is possible or not.

To answer your question, there is no dolly or fly-through capability in acad. You can however introduce a clipping plane in a 3d view which will ignore anything in front of or behind your plane(s). You do it from the DVIEW command, or from toolbars/menus in newer versions.

Look it up in the help.
