Not able to rotate in 3D view in order to see an object from below
The 3D View rotation is capable to rotate left right, view from the top, but I can't rotate in order to see the bottom of a structure (in other words, from below) Is that normal?

I'm still having the same problem. Is this by design?

It’s normal, Sweet Home 3D doesn’t allow this. It’s to avoid unrealistic views.

I don't think it would be unrealistic at all. 3D is 3D not only 2 and 1/2 D. Have you heard about Sketchup? Sometimes you want to see what is underneath toy see your object

You can view the bottom of objects by setting its rotation angle around a horizontal axis.
Don’t hope to be able to rotate a whole design to see it from below. Sweet Home 3D is for interior design and is not a general purpose 3D design program. Let’s keep 3D navigation simple enough for all users.

Create a very high level below your object, go to virtual visitor and look up.
And hey, the real life is 3D. So if you want to know how your house looks from below, you go under it and take a look? 3D is 3D - your words... wink
