Pivoting around a Point

[GerryCMBB]

Hello All:

By pivoting I mean like we can do with a unit when Unit Lock is active.

Sometimes I want to go to a building where I don't have a unit and check which sides have windows, doors, etc. Is there a way to do a pivot as in the unit lock example above? It would make camera movement great for these situations.

If not, I hope it's a feature that could be added.

Thanks,

Gerry

+1 for that suggestion.

Appreciate the answer but this is not what I am talking about. When you do this it is not pivoting tightly around a building. I am looking for the same behavior you can get after using Unit Lock for a unit.

Yes. It will rotate around the point over which your viewpoint is currently. So if you are looking at a house, right-click will look away from the house, "behind" you and then back towards the house. It will not rotate around where you're looking unless you have a unit Tab-selected.
