Using the Pan Tool
The Pan tool lets you move from side to side and up and down. The Pan tool’s icon is a hand, and that’s appropriate, because you “grasp” the display and move it around.The angle doesn’t change when you use the Pan tool, unlike when you use the Orbit tool. Here’s how to put the Pan tool to work:
1. Click the Start Using SketchUp button. This opens SketchUp with the Simple Template we’ve set as the default in the previous tasks.
2. Click the Pan tool in the toolbar (shown in Figure 2.11).

3. Press the mouse button in SketchUp’s display to “grasp” the display.
4. Drag the mouse to move the display. When you do, the whole display moves around without changing angle or perspective, as you can see in Figure 2.11.
The Pan tool gives you a way of viewing your models by moving them from side to side and up and down.
