how do i enter free cam mode?

hey guys. im a novice to torque and im 15 but i design maps for a game called blockland. and i want to get into more detailed maps. but i can never edit the inside of the building because when i pan the camera it just circles the structures. so i cant edit inside! and i know there is a free cam mode because i once was in it by accident. and i cant figure it out.. help me please. also how would i make triangles "slippery" because when my character in blockland it on the triangle he can just walk along it and i want it to be a challenge not to fall of of the triangle because its slippery. btw im using torque constructor to make structers and export them as a .dif, are there any better programs that can export as .dif?

All the camera controls are in the Camera drop down if your using Torque 3D, shortcut keys that I always use are

Alt+C to enter/exit free camera mode
W,A,S,D,E,C for camera movement
Right Mouse Button Down for free look

Those should also work with older versions of Torque if your using one of those. But as for the "slippery" area of a map, you will need to program that sort of thing in. And Constructor is the only program I know of that will export out as .dif Another program I recommend is Blender, its a free 3D modeling tool that exports out to .dts and it will work with Torque
