S3 Editor Model Preview

Anyone know of a way to rotate the model preview in the editor?
When placing things on the other side of the model I cant judge them, since I cant figure out a way to spin the view.

Click and hold with your right mouse button and then drag the mouse, and you can use the left / right arrow keys on the keyboard in conjunction with that to speed things up. The close you are zoomed-in, the slower it is. Same with the up / down arrow keys. You should be able to get down to "eye level" with any "people" in the view... You can use that VideoCam button near the upper-right of the window to center on the selected node, and if animated, click that "Play" button next to it...

Thank you, works like a charm.

You're more than welcome. It is still somewhat clumsy, but better than nothing. An even faster method is to use the middle mouse button (wheel). Depress it and really spin around fast enough to make yourself sick with dizzy...
