orbit( [camera] , [horizontalAngle=angle], [pivotPoint=[linear, linear, linear]],
[rotationAngles=[angle,
angle]], [verticalAngle=angle])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
orbit is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT
editable.
The orbit command revolves the camera(s) horizontally and/or
vertically in the perspective window. The rotation axis is with
respect to the camera. To revolve horizontally: the rotation axis
is the camera up direction vector. To revolve vertically: the
rotation axis is the camera left direction vector. When both the
horizontal and the vertical angles are supplied on the command
line, the camera is firstly revolved horizontally, then revolved
vertically. This command may be applied to more than one camera;
objects that are not cameras are ignored. When no camera name
supplied, this command is applied to all currently active cameras.
