View Pilot Tool
The 
button launches the View Pilot, which is used to refine the view in the 3D window.
The View Pilot controls will help you position your view in the 3D window. Use the map graphic on the view pilot to select the area that you want to view in the 3D window, and then use the navigational buttons surrounding the map to adjust the position of the viewer in the 3D window.

View
View options allow you to define how objects will be treated when they obstruct the path of the viewer while zooming.
Stop at Object. If selected, the viewer does not pass through the object being viewed but stops at the object. If not selected, and you zoom to the point that you penetrate the surface of an object, you will appear to pass through the object and look back towards it.
Prevent View Frustum Intersections. If selected, the viewer is prevented from positioning the camera at a point where the near plane of the view frustum intersects with the central body.
Hide Invalid View Messages. If selected, STK will no longer display a warning message in the 3D windows when the to/from objects or the references axes becomes invalid.
Image Set
Show only. Identifies the image set, if any, to be used when displaying the globe in the 3D window. Image sets are defined for individual globe files using the Globe Manager. Only image sets that have been defined for the globe file currently being displayed will be available.
