Moving the Camera
The camera can be moved in one of two ways:
• The WASD keys will move the camera relative to it's current facing direction. Holding down SHIFT while doing this will increase the camera speed.
• Pressing and holding the Middle Mouse Button whilst dragging will move the camera relative to the ground.
Rotating the Camera
The camera can be rotated in two ways: • The Q and E keys will rotate the camera left and right in world space
• Holding ALT and MMB and moving the mouse will free rotate the camera.
Zooming
The camera can be zoomed in and out by scrolling the Middle Mouse Button.
Raising/Lowering the Camera
You can also raise and lower the camera in two ways:
• The C key will raise the camera, while the X key will lower the camera
• Holding SHIFT and MMB while dragging the mouse will make the camera raise or lower.
If, at any point, you get your camera in an awkward position, you can reset it with the 'r' key. This will teleport the camera into the sky looking down at the centre of the map.
As a note, Right-Click or Esc are the global Terry shortcuts for 'Exit Current Behaviour'. whenever you use Right-click it will exit your current mode. Try not to press it accidentally.
Previewing the Map
It's a good idea to step back and look at the map. There is a toggle mode which can be used to preview how the map might look in game.

If you select the World View, you will be able to see a preview of your map with the environment and vista that you selected. Any debug lines will also be removed.
IMAGE 2
Objects can still be manipulated in this mode, you just don't receive as much debug information.
You can click the other item at any point to switch back to Editor Mode view where we hide objects, remove the environment and display debug lines.
