Keyboard shortcuts improve your workflow by reducing the need to switch tools often. The keyboard shortcuts for the exploratory analysis objects only work when an analysis object has been selected, for example, selecting an observer point to rotate heading or reposition higher, lower, left, or right. Keyboard shortcuts work with individual parts (observer or target) or the whole analysis results group (for example, observer and all associated targets). Depending on the tool template type you're using (Line of Sight, View Dome, Viewshed, or Slice), the available keyboard shortcuts vary. There are no keyboard shortcuts for cut and fill objects.
The keyboard shortcuts listed below are helpful when interacting with the 3D exploratory analysis results.
