To activate/deactivate the tool, click the Model shift keys button on the toolbar or use the image context menu. By default, the tool is disabled. The tool allows you to drag the model with the mouse, holding the left button.

Note that the initial point of the cursor does not affect the rotation. If the cursor is moved vertically, the image is rotated round the horizontal axis. If the cursor is moved horizontally, the image is rotated round the vertical axis. That is, the image follows the cursor. If the cursor moves along a slanting line, the image slants the same way.

This tool is also available from the image context menu and from the Volume main menu item. Activation is only possible with the left mouse button.
