How to work on the inside of a model?
(OP)
Hello,
I'm looking to get on the inside of a model and do some work. In other codes the 'perspective' view will allow this, however it doesn't seem to work in NX.
For example, if you have a hollow box, I would like to manipulate the view to get inside of the closed box and, say, fillet some edges on the inside or something.
There's a video on how to do this with cameras and whatnot, but it appears that's just for rendering images. I want to actually work with this view.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!

View ->> Operation -> Navigate
...but on most recent versions of NX, at least since NX 7.5, you will need to use 'Customize' to resurrect the 'Navigate' item back onto the View -> Operation menu (you will want to also resurrect the 'Navigate Options...' item as well). Note that this function uses mouse gestures to 'fly' through your models along with modifiers using control keys. Note that when in the 'Navigate' mode, your cursor symbol will be replaced with a small 'airplane' and hints for the control-key based modifiers will be visible in the 'Que and Status' line. A WARNING: Unless you're an experienced video-gamer you may find the use of a mouse while holding-down control keys a bit awkward, but if you do this a lot, you'll get the hang of it.
