Interacting with viewer

When you open this new project, you will see a screen like this.

This is the project's Editor page, where most of the editing and manipulation will take place.

Of course, the most eye-catching part is the viewer in the center of the screen, where there is an azure blue 🌍: that you all know it's the best.

View Control​

Drag your mouse over the Earth and you will find that you can manipulate the viewpoint to see the Earth now. Because Re:Earth uses Cesium as the default engine, the operation of the viewpoint follows from Cesium.

  • For mouse operation:

    • Pan view : Left click + drag
    • Zoom view : Right click + drag, or Mouse wheel scroll
    • Rotate view : Middle click + drag, or CTRL + Left/Right click + drag

  • For touch screen:

    • Pan view : One finger drag
    • Zoom view : Two finger pinch
    • Tilt view : Two finger drag, same direction
    • Rotate view : Two finger drag, opposite direction

Please feel free to explore the earth in front of you and try to find out where you are now.
